Political career

[edit]

He was first elected MP for Carlisle in 1847 but this result was later declared void. However, he retained the seat in the resulting by-election in 1848. However, he lost the seat in 1852. In 1857, he regained the seat, but at the next election in 1859 was again defeated. Despite contesting the seat at a by-election in 1861, he did not regain the seat until 1865. He was then again defeated in 1868.

However, at the same election, he stood for election in East Cumberland where he was elected and held the seat until his death in 1876.[3]
