He became an Assessor in Edinburgh and then Secretary to the Excise.[2] He acquired the estate of Chesterhall near Gladsmuir in East Lothian. He became a Senator of the College of Justice in the summer of 1755, replacing Thomas Hay, Lord Huntingdon. He died at Chesterhall on 11 August 1756.[3] He is thought to be buried nearby in Gladsmuir churchyard. His place as Senator was filled by George Brown, Lord Coalstoun.
