Constituency : Waterford City 1868-74, County Waterford 1877-80 ( Home Rule League )
James took over at Waterford City from Henry Barron.
James was a Catholic who had worked with Daniel O Connell in his youth. He had a particular interest in equalising the Irish currency laws with those of England and introduced Bills to that effect.
In 1874 James was pushed out by Home Rule candidates. He returned at a by-election for the county seat in 1877, this time as a Home Ruler himself.
He died in 1885 aged 77.
