After being accused of negligence, he was removed from that post and his position of notary in 1737 by lieutenant-governor Lawrence Armstrong. However, in 1740, he was reinstated as notary and tax collector. In 1744, after he was accused again of negligence and of having been involved with his son-in-law Joseph Leblanc dit Le Maigre in aiding actions taken against the British, Bourg was removed from his position as notary. By 1752, he was living with Leblanc at Port-Toulouse in a small house. When Louisbourg was captured in 1758, Bourg fled to Richibucto, where he later died at the age of 89. (en)
