He was elected to the South Australian House of Assembly seat of Stanley, which he held from April 1887 to April 1890. He suffered a great deal of pain in his later years, and strangled himself with the string from his pyjamas to end the agony. The corner, J. Bentley, deemed an inquest unnecessary. (en)
