Towards the close of 1858, Tantia Top crossed the Nerbudda on a projected raid into the Maratha Districts and some apprehension was felt lest the arrival of the representative of the Peshwa might induce the Marathas to rise in revolt. Columns were sent out to the bank of the Wardha and into the Chhindwara District, and the effect of these dispositions was that Tantia Topi, who had penetrated as far as and burnt Mumbai, was turned off in an easterly direction, when he was met and defeated by a column from Amraoti and again driven northwards.     After the Mutiny the detached position of the Nagpur Districts and the Saugor and Nerbudda Territories, too remote from the headquarters of any Local Government to be efficiently administrated, led to the determination to form a new Province, which was carried into effect in 1861. With the addition of Berar in 1903 the Central Provinces are not far from representing the Bhonsla kingdom at its greatest extent. It includes Saugor, Damoh and Jubbaulpore, the greater part of which did not belong to the Bhonslas , and is without Sambalpur and Cuttack, which were included in their possessions. A list of the Chief Commissioners of the Central Provinces is annexed.
