He was a retired, wealthy tea broker whose business was at St Antholin's Churchyard,[4] Watling Street, City of London.[5] This he conducted with his brother who left almost all of his estate to him in 1857, leading to combined death assets of over £500,000 (equivalent to about £60,200,000 in 2023).[5]
He was elected to the Commons in one of the two seats for East Surrey as a Conservative at the 1837 general election and was re-elected until 1847 when he stood down.[3][6]
