Parliamentary career
He became MP for Colchester in 1742 because an election petition overturned the original result. He consistently opposed the government in parliament, voting against the administration in all recorded divisions. In 1743, he was listed as a supporter of the House of Stuart in a letter sent to the French Government. He did not stand in 1747.
