He came with his father to New Brunswick at an early age, was educated in the Northumberland county grammar school, and admitted to the bar in 1840. He was soon afterward elected a member of the Provincial legislature, made postmaster-general in 1847, and then speaker of the house, attorney-general, and in 1854 solicitor-general. He was a member of the conference that met in Quebec in 1864, and of the London conference, which settled the details of the confederation act.
