Merchant, Whig politician, City Alderman, Lord Mayor of London in 1738 and expert in financial matters. A vigorous campaigner for the commercial interests that were his principal City of London constituency. This would explain why a group of merchants erected a statue to him at the Royal Exchange, where statuary was almost exclusively a royal prerogative.
Left Parliament at the 1761 election, 3 years before his death.
