		Fraser’s feud with the powerful Greenfield Macdonells lasted for several years and culminated in the winter of 1825—26 with a petition to the House of Assembly drawn up by Duncan’s brother, sheriff Donald Macdonell, accusing Fraser* of “Unconstitutional and Unofficer like conduct.” The outcome of the petition is not known, but Fraser clearly emerged unscathed.
		During the rebellion of 1837—38 Fraser was commended by Sir John Colborne* for his role in “dispersing the rebels” in Lower Canada.
		To show his displeasure with the reformers Fraser ran for election to one of the five seats on the newly established Charlottenburgh township council in 1850, despite attempts by Sandfield Macdonald to dissuade him.
