Also, on the same day, when the Fusileers were retiring, by order, on Metcalfe's house, on it being reported that there was a wounded man left behind, Lieut.

Browne on the occasion, that he was the first person who entered the battery, which consisted of the two guns in question, protected by high palisades, the einbrasures being closed with sliding shutters. On reaching the battery, Capt. Brown removed the shutters, and jumped into the battery. The result was that the guns were spiked, and it is supposed that about 100 of the enemy were killed.
