Notes

F.J.C. Hearnshaw, Centennial History of King's College, London, 1828-1928, p. 105, thought little of his abilities as left no publications and had no students. His letter of acceptance and enquiry about a law library and his lectures on criminal law are in KCL archives; Notice of death, Gentleman's Magazine, January 1849, p.103.
