A few days afterward supposing the matter had blown over, Macdonell ordered him to work again.

Finlay declined, whereupon, though under engagement he refused to further obey Macdonell.

The Governor then brought him before Mr.Hillier, who like himself, had been made a magistrate.

His breach of law in this, as in other matters being brought against Finlay he was sentenced to confinement.

There being no prison at York Factory it seemed difficult to carry out the sentence by his being simply confined with his other companions in the men's quarters.
