Burchill was defeated in a bid for reelection to the provincial assembly in 1886 but then was elected in an 1887 by-election held after Michael Adams ran for a seat in the federal parliament.

He was a prominent Freemason and a past master of the Sons of Temperance. He died in Newcastle at the age of 68.
