He represented the Cardiganshire constituency between 1886 and 1895 for the Liberal Party.

In 1864, he was appointed headmaster of a grammar school in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire and also curate of Narberth in the same county. He studied law from 1868 at Gray’s Inn, and was called to the Bar in 1871. He was appointed QC in 1871 and made a Bencher in 1882.

In 1893 he was promoted to Recorder of Swansea which forced a by-election, however, as the only candidate put forward he automatically won.
