Mutiny Service  Deputy Commissioner of Mohumdee in Oudh. The position of .Mohumdee, close to the frontier of Rohilcund and but a short distance from Shahjehanpore, rendered it very sensitive to the insurrectionary movement. It was garrisoned by a detachment of the 9th Oudh Infantry and a few police troopers. Troubles commenced at Shahjehdnpore, and the officials with ladies and children made the best of their way to Mohumdee. Thomason was unable to obtain carriage for them and applied for help to Christian at Seetapore. Christian, by great exertion, managed to supply this and forwarded it under an escort of Oudh Irregulars. The English left Mohumdee guarded by this party. They proceeded safely as far as Aurungabad, when the escort turned on them and butchered them in cold blood, only one man, Captain Orr, escaping. The ladies, eight in number, behaved splendidly, joining in prayer and calmly awaiting their fate. The fugitives from Shahjehdnpore and Mohumdee formed a large party, comprising two civilians (Thomason and Jenkins), three Captains, six Lieutenants, three Ensigns, one Sergeant, one Bandmaster, with eight ladies and four children.
