James Buchanan Macaulay

Colonel Sir James Buchanan Macaulay, CB (3 December 1793 – 26 November 1859) was a lawyer and judge in colonial Canada.

In 1812, he joined the Glengarry Fencibles as a lieutenant, and fought during the War of 1812 with America at the Battles of Ogdensburg, Oswego, Lundy's Lane, and at the Siege of Fort Erie.

Mackenzie refused to print the letter, so Macaulay wrote to the Advocate under the pseudonym "A Churchwarden" explaining that Fenton had been fired and rehired in his position with the church.

Macaulay suggested Jarvis claim that the property damage was for a morally appropriate reason to stop Mackenzie's negative reporting and that they seek an out-of-court settlement.

In his communications with Mackenzie's lawyer James Edward Small he maintained the strategy of claiming the riots were morally acceptable and the damage to the printing press and destroyed type was not worth £2000.

Catherine McGill Macaulay, married Benjamin Homer Dixon (1819–1899) of Homewood, Toronto, Knight of the Order of the Netherlands Lion.

[7] Macaulay died 26 November 1859, at the home he had built on his father's land in Toronto, Wickham Lodge, which he named after the English village of Wickham, Hampshire where two of his maternal aunts lived with their respective husbands: Admiral Thomas Revell Shivers (1751–1827) and Lieutenant-Commander Thomas Dorsett-Birchall (d. 1836).
