Smith also dismissed a number of appointed official who he believed were conspiring against him including James Bardin Palmer, William Johnston and John Frederick Holland and attempted to govern without convening the island's assembly.
He was named high sheriff for the island and so was responsible for collecting quitrents for Lieutenant Governor Charles Douglass Smith.
He was removed from the council in 1819 following allegations by Governor Charles Douglass Smith related to Holland's membership in the Masonic lodge in Charlottetown.
He was part of a group that lobbied for the dismissal of Governor Charles Douglass Smith over the issue of quitrents.
