He moved to Sydney in 1862 but retained an active interest in the firm's affairs. Over the ensuing years he held directorships in many prominent firms and also acquired and partnered in several pastoral runs. He was elected to government in 1871 to represent Liverpool Plains and in 1874 he represented Maitland. He held prominent positions in many charitable, educational and religious institutions as well as government institutions. He died in 1885 and is buried in the Hebrew section of Rookwood Cemetery.
