In 1817 he was one of the founders of the Bank of New South Wales. Had a fluctuating personal relationship with Macquarie. Opposed the Governor's emancipist policy, and was named by him in a secret report to Lord Bathurst in December 1817 as one of twelve intriguing and discontented persons in NSW who were actively undermining Macquarie's policies. However, by 1819, Macquarie had revised his opinion of him and appointed him as a justice of the peace.
