He was classified as one of the ‘worthy patriots’ who brought to light the mismanagements of the previous ministry. In March 1711 he was appointed to a drafting committee for a private bill on Great Yarmouth harbour, and was also chosen to draft a bill to curb wool smuggling. He became an alderman of Dunwich in 1712 and was bailiff for the year 1713 to 1714. He was returned for Thetford again at the 1713 British general election again with Hanmer’s support.
