Although DNB says he was called to the bar in 1781, he didn't appear in Law List until 1789 and 1790 in the list of counsel with the address Harcourt Bldgs, Inner Temple, and not in the list for 1792, which is cosistent with his going to India. A John Richardson attorney was at Chapel St, Bedford Row in 1777, Lyons Inn in 1782, New Inn Bldgs Wych St 1787, and Bury St, St James from 1789 to at least 1795
