He was born in Hartley to innkeeper Patrick Phillips and Sarah Walsh. He was a solicitor, working at Molong (1877 - 85) and Cowra (1885 - 1905). Around 1880 he married Elizabeth Agnes Finn at Canowindra; they had nine children. In 1896 he was elected in a by-election to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly as the Protectionist member for Cowra, but he retired at the next election in 1898. Phillips died at Cowra in 1905.[1]
