For many years he was assistant Postmaster General under the late Thomas Owen, Esq., and subsequently under the Hon. L.C. Owen. Upon the latter gentleman's resignation he was appointed Postmaster General of the Island and held the office until there was a change of Government in 1867. In 1872 he was appointed to the office Assistant Provincial Secretary, which he held until the amalgamation of that office with that of the Clerk of the Executive Council in 1876; but he retained a position in the Provincial Secretary's Office until 1879.
