Editing Isaac Brock (section)

===Mutiny===
A short time later, Brock received a report from Fort George that some of the [[garrison]] were planning to confine their officers then cross over to the United States. Brock immediately boarded the [[schooner]] that had brought the message and headed to Fort George. According to Tupper, a hastily assembled honour guard formed to greet Brock's unexpected arrival. Alone on entering the fort, Brock ordered the [[sergeant]] of the guard to disarm and had him arrested. As it was the dinner hour, all the soldiers were in [[barracks]]. Brock ordered the drummers to call out the men. He ordered the first officer on the scene, Lieutenant Williams, to bring him a soldier suspected of being one of the mutiny's ringleaders. Ten other suspected mutineers were also taken prisoner.{{sfn|Tupper|1847|pp=26–30}}

Brock sent the twelve mutineers and the eight deserters to Quebec for [[court martial]]. Nine were transported for life and seven were sentenced to death. The mutineers testified that they were forced to such measures by the rigid discipline imposed by Lieutenant Colonel Roger Hale Shaffe, who commanded at Fort George. They said if they had served under Brock's command, they would never have taken such action.{{sfn|Tupper|1847|pp=26–30}} Subsequently, Brock was ordered to move his headquarters to Fort George. In a letter to his brother, Brock expressed regret that the conspirators had been executed, as some had been men who had been with him in Holland and at Copenhagen.{{sfn|Riley|2011}}
