He reversed the company's fortunes and later ran a marble masonry business on the corner of Franklin and Bentham Streets.
He subsequently stood for the seat of Stanley, but failed; attributable said some, to the enmity the Press felt when the "wily, obstinate, pertinacious, rugged, blunt, eloquent Scotchman" spoke in favour of removing postage privileges that newspapers then enjoyed.

Children by his first marriage included Hugh died at his home "Maesbury House" in Chapel Street, Kensington.
