He was made a Queen's Counsel (1851), was Recorder of Hull (1854-1874), represented Midhurst in the Conservative interest (1856-1859), and then he was appointed one of the two Masters of Lunacy. His "Passages from the Diary of a Late Physician" (1832) had been contributed to "Blackwood's Magazine," as also was "Ten Thousand a Year" (1841), the amusing story of "Tittlebat Titmouse."
