In 1836, he was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada. During his time in office, Manahan promoted the development of a canal along the Trent River. He also brought forward allegations of discrimination of Irish Catholics in the province. Manahan was crown lands agent in the Midland and Prince Edward Districts from 1837 to 1844. He was elected to the 1st Parliament of the Province of Canada in 1841 but resigned to allow Samuel Bealey Harrison, appointed secretary for Canada West, to be elected to the assembly. Manahan was then appointed customs collector in Toronto. He resigned in 1843. An audit found that he had made unauthorized expenditures while in the post and he was forced to sell his property to cover these costs. He died in Kingston in 1849. (en)
