Marthensz served for a number of years as the private secretary to Justice Wendt and in 1908 was admitted to the bar. He then joined the legal firm of F. J. & G. de Saram, eventually becoming a senior partner in the firm. He was created a Justice of the Peace and Unofficial magistrate.[4] Following Ceylon’s first parliamentary elections in 1947, Martensz was appointed as a member of the Ceylon House of Representatives. He was one of six members appointed by the Governor-General, to represent important interests which were not represented or inadequately represented in the House.[5] He officiated as Deputy Chairman of Committees between October 1947 and December 1948,[6] and on one occasion as Speaker of the House. He remained a member of parliament until January 1949, when he was appointed as Ceylon's first High Commissioner in Australia.[3][7][8] In 1952, he was awarded the Commander of the Order of the British Empire.[9] He subsequently became Dean of the Diplomatic Corps in 1952.[8] In 1957 he was elected as president of the Dutch Burgher Union of Ceylon, a position in which he served until 1959.[10] Martensz emigrated to Australia in 1959 and died in Canberra on 26 March 1963.
