It was in consequence decided that Duncan Cameron should be taken as a captive to England by way of York Factory and be tried across seas.

Colin Robertson was instructed to conduct him to York Factory.

No doubt this was a reprisal for the arrest and banishment meted out to Miles Macdonell.
Cameron was delayed at York Factory on his way to England for more than a year and after a short stay in Britain returned to Canada.

He afterwards obtained damages of L3,000 for his illegal detention.

The new Governor, however, unaware of the real state of matters in Rupert's Land and probably ignorant of the claim of Canada to the West, and of the force of a customary occupation of the land, procured with high-handed zeal a further reprisal.

Before Colin Robertson had gone to conduct Cameron to York Factory the Governor and Robertson had discussed the advisability of dismantling Fort Gibraltar.
