Later, he became involved in pastoral interests, purchasing the Darlington estate on Maria Island and a 10,000 acre estate at Rheban, on the mainland opposite the island. He was elected to the House of Assembly at the 1903 state election and was re-elected in 1906 before retiring due to ill-health in 1909. He was particularly interested in railway and hydroelectric issues in his time in parliament. He died in August 1919 and was buried at Cornelian Bay Cemetery. His son, Hubert, later became a successful lawyer and was appointed Crown Solicitor of Tasmania. (en)
