At the 1802 general election, Hurst was elected to the House of Commons for two constituencies: Shaftesbury[3] and Steyning.[4] The result of the election in Shaftesbury was disputed, but once the dispute had been settled in his favour he chose to represent Shaftesbury, and did not sit for Steyning in the remainder of the Parliament.[1][4]
Hurst married in 1784 Maria Smith, daughter of Adam Smith: they had two sons and five daughters. The eldest son, Robert Henry Hurst, represented Horsham as a Radical.[7]
