<p class="C1">&#65279BURN, Lt-Col. , who commanded British detachments at Deoband, now in Uttar Pradesh, led in 1804 an expedition against the cis-Sutlej Sikh chiefs, Gurdit Si&#7749gh of L&#257&#7693v&#257 and Karn&#257l, Sher Si&#7749gh of B&#363&#7771&#299&#257, R&#257i Si&#7749gh of Jag&#257dhr&#299, Jodh Si&#7749gh of K&#257ls&#299&#257 and Maht&#257b Si&#7749gh of Th&#257nesar, who had fought against the British in alliance with the Mar&#257&#7789h&#257s in 1803. Burn's troops joined hands with those of Birch and Skinner, and defeated the Sikhs at Sah&#257ranpur on 18 December 1804. The British commander-in-chief granted amnesty to all the Sikhs except Gurdit Si&#7749gh. Burn arrived at Karn&#257l, and secured from him the surrender of the town.</p>
