. . . Captain John Robinson of the York Militia Robinson assisted two other officers from the militia during their negotiations for surrender Colonel William Chewett and Major William Allen of the 3rd York Regiment of militia tried to arrange a capitulation assisted by Captain John Beverley Robinson the acting Attorney General of Upper Canada the process took time the Americans were angry over their losses particularly because they believed that the ship and fort had been destroyed after negotiations for surrender had already begun. Nevertheless Colonel Mitchell of the 3rd U.S Artillery agreed to terms While they waited for Dearborn and Chauncey to ratify the terms the surrendered militia were held prisoner in a blockhouse without food or medical attention for the few wounded Forsyth's company of the 1st U.S Rifle Regiment was left as guard in the town at this stage few Americans had entered the town The next morning the terms had still not been ratified since Dearborn had refused to leave the corvette Madison When he eventually did Reverend John Strachan (who held no official position other than Rector of York at the time) first brusquely tried to force him to sign the articles for capitulation on the spot then accused Chauncey to his face of delaying the capitulation to allow the American troops licence to commit outrages. Eventually Dearborn formally agreed to the articles for surrender the official terms of surrender permitted civil servants to continue carrying out their duties and surgeons to treat British wounded. As a part of the terms of surrender any troops remaining in York became prisoners of war although those serving in the militia were "paroled," allowing them to return home so long as they not rejoin the conflict until an official prisoner exchange had secured their "release". Members of the York Militia were ordered to relinquish their arms and proceed to Fort York garrison the officers of the militia were subsequently released on "parole," although the rest of the militia remained imprisoned for two days. Kept without food water or medical attention the imprisoned militia was eventually released at the behest of Strachan The Americans took over the dockyard where they captured a brig (Duke of Gloucester) in poor state of repair and twenty 24-pounder carronades and other stores intended for the British squadron on Lake Erie Sir Isaac Brock was beyond salvage the Americans had missed another ship-rigged vessel Prince Regent which carried 16 guns as she sailed for Kingston to collect ordnance two days before the Americans had been sighted the Americans also demanded and received several thousand pounds in Army Bills which had been in the keeping of Prideaux Selby the Receiver General of Upper Canada who was mortally ill Burning of York, The murder rate climbed in the latter part of 2015 and jumped in 2016 to 73 in 2017 homicides were down to 65 on November 18 2018 with Cardinal Licorish 23 of Ajax shot and killed at an apartment building in the area of Lawrence Avenue and Kingston Road that death became Toronto's 90th homicide of that year which means the city has broken its homicide record surpassing the old record of 89 homicides in 1991 a BlogTO post in June reveals that Toronto's homicide rate was higher than in New York City the 2018 homicide tally included the 10 victims in the Yonge Street van attack and the 2 victims in the Danforth shooting In conjunction with the increase in murders overall shooting incidents also jumped significantly in 2015 with year-to-date figures by late November returning to the range seen at the peaks five to ten years earlier Toronto Police statistics show a 90% increase in people wounded by gunfire and a 48% increase in shootings (135 in 2015 compared to 91 in 2014). Meanwhile there were 114 reported incidents of shootings without injuries as of July 15 compared to just 14 in 2014. However despite this significant increase in the number of shooting incidents and victims the almost eleven month total of shooting related deaths at that point matched the previous decade low of 22 gun deaths for 2013 and the total number of homicides had potential to be the lowest number since TPS began publicly releasing the figures in 2005. Since then the city has seen an increase in shootings with 407 shootings in 2016 and 392 that following year As of November 20 2018 Toronto had the highest homicide rate among major Canadian cities with a rate of 3.5 per 100,000 people Its current homicide rate is higher than in Winnipeg Calgary Edmonton Vancouver Ottawa Montreal Hamilton New York City San Diego and Austin. Although this rate is an exaggerated spike primarily caused by the Toronto van attack which murdered 10 people on April 23 2018 the rate is still 3.1 (per 100,000 people) without this and still highest among the listed Canadian cities the 3 highest homicide years in the past decade are the most recent three reversing the downward trend that followed after the "year of the gun.".
