He acted s a member of the commission for examining into the municipal corporations, a master of the Queen's Bench, recorder of Newcastle-under-Lyme, and counsel to the Board of Health. In 1850 he was elected a bencher of the Middle Temple, and in 1859 he was appointed its treasurer.〔
Dwarris was a Fellow of the Royal Society and Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London, a vice-president of the Archæological Association, and a member of the Archæological Institute. He died at 75 Eccleston Square, London, on 20 May 1860, and was buried in Woking cemetery on 26 May; his wife died in the same house on 10 June 1856, and her remains were placed in the same cemetery on 16 June.〔
