In 1833, he was empowered by the legislature to revise the statutes of the State. In doing the work he was "ambitious of originality" and caused the code "to smack too strongly of the Roman law". This displeased legislators who preferred the common law, and the proposed code was rejected. Pray was elected to a seat on the state supreme court in 1837 and held the position until his death in 1839. He died at his residence, near Pearlington, Mississippi, after a lengthy period of poor health. (en)
