It was the Humbug Society and The Bunyip, a newspaper which sponsored his election to the House of Assembly seat of Barossa, which he won by 60 votes and served from March 1860 to November 1862.

[6] On announcing his intention to run for the seat of Yatala in 1875 he was described as a "frisky young aspirant about 70 years of age"[7] He died, after a short illness, of erysipelas.

They also made arrangements for him to be buried in Gawler, where he had lived for some time, but his son and brother-in-law employed a second undertaker to take charge of the body and transported it to the West Terrace Cemetery, where it was interred[8] on 23 January 1875.
