He became the leading counsel on the Western circuit, and succeeded Richard Burke as Recorder of Bristol. He subsequently represented his University in Parliament, became Chief Justice of the County Palatine of Chester, and in turn filled the offices of Solicitor and Attorney- General, and received the honour of knighthood.
