He later studied at University College at the University of Oxford.[1] While studying at Oxford, he made a single appearances in first-class cricket for Oxford University against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Oxford in 1836.[2] Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed for a single run in the Oxford first innings by John Bayley, while in their second innings he was run out without scoring.[3]
