Charles Hotham was not "recalled to London in disgrace". That's utter nonsense. Three months after the Eureka Stockade, Hotham was promoted to full Governor and he received a commendation for suppressing the 'outbreak'. Nearly a year after the Eureka Stockade, Hotham resigned the governorship due to failing health and he died in Melbourne a little over a month later.
