The Station of Meerut was the scene of the outbreak of the Mutiny, on May 10, when a great portion of it was plundered and burnt. For some days anarchy prevailed. The officiating Magistrate was killed by a fall from his horse on an expedition against some refractory villagers. Dunlop the Magistrate rejoined shortly afterwards from leave and at once raised a body of mounted Volunteers, composed principally of Civilians who had lost their Districts and Officers whose regiments had mutinied. This small body rendered excellent service and Wigram was one of its most active members, being present on every occasion when it was engaged, notably with the attack on and rout and death of Sahib Lai, a Jat landed proprietor of the Meerut District, of great influence for bad against the British. His defeat restored quiet to a great part of the District. Wigram also proceeded with Dunlop against some troublesome rebels in the Mozuffernugur District. The Volunteers known as the Khakee Resalla were repeatedly thanked by the Government, and did not break up till Dehli had finally fallen. |
