Stratton and his associates were tried before the court of King's bench and were fined £1,000 each in February 1780. In the 1780 general election Stratton was again returned at Callington but unopposed. In 1781 the English Chronicle wrote of Stratton "All his fortune, which is now very considerable, has been acquired in the service of the East India Company, and except in the part he took in the revolution at Madras, few men have emerged into sudden consequence with less noise, and, what is better, with less cause for serious imputation than himself." Stratton continued to support the Administration in Parliament. He did not stand again at the 1784 general election. Stratton died on 20 March 1800, aged 65. With his wife Hester Eleanora, Stratton had two surviving sons and a daughter. The sons were George Frederick Stratton and John. The daughter, Wilhelmina Sarah (died 1849), married Egerton Leigh (1779–1865) and was mother of Egerton Leigh the politician.
