==Capture of the booty==
In 1858, the Saugor and Nerbudda field force (also called the Madras column) under Major-General George Cornish Whitlock were sent to [[BundelkhandBundelkund]] to engage in the relief of various towns in the region. After defeating a force of 7000 outside [[Banda]], they entered the town and therein took a large amount of loot from the palace. When the British troops marched on nearby [[Kirwee]], its Prime Minister, Radho Govind, fled to the hills with a rebel force and Narrain Rao, the chief of the town, surrendered to Whitlock. Once again a large amont of money and jewels were found in the palace.
