Returning to Britain by 1853, he was appointed as adjutant to the 5th West Yorkshire Militia. He was appointed as a deputy lieutenant for the West Riding of Yorkshire in 1855. In December 1855 Taylor was charged with the embezzlement of £300 belonging to the British army and appeared before York magistrates. However explanations were provided to the War Office and the charge was dropped. In April 1856 he resigned from the post of adjutant in the militia.
