In 1854 he was himself elected to the government council and headed the justice and police department. In 1857 he was voted out of office. From July 1855 up to and including June 1856 he was in the parliamentary group of the Left in the Council of States . In 1875 he was for a short time President of the High Court and Public Prosecutor and from 1876 he held the post of first High Court clerk until the end of his life.
