I'm looking for photos / sketches / portraits of him for the CPS project's history book. A Barrister, he succeeded Hillier as Chief Magistrate, serving from 1856-1859 [1]. He resigned and went to Shanghai where he joined the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs as Commissioner [1].
He died in Shanghai in 1863, and was buried in Shantung Road Cemetery there [2]. His grave shows that he was a freemason.
There aren't any results in the photo search at HKPRO or the UKNA, and he didn't serve with Legco.
I have found a couple of mentions in family trees, and have contacted them:
