He represented the Clive electorate in Parliament from 1861 to 1881, when he was defeated (standing for the electorate of Waipawa). He then represented the Napier electorate from Template:NZ election link year to 1890, when he retired.

He was appointed to the Legislative Council on 20 January 1891 and served until his death on 6 October 1917.[1] He was appointed to the Council as one of seven new members (including Harry Atkinson himself) appointed to the Council by the outgoing fourth Atkinson Ministry; a move regarded by Liberals as a stacking of the upper house against the new government.

Ormond was baptised on 28 June 1831.[2] He came from Wallingford, Oxfordshire, (then Berkshire), England, and established a homestead called Wallingford in Central Hawke's Bay in 1847, which became a major farming station.

Businessman and farmer Sir John Ormond, politician and farmer Tiaki Omana, and politician and Historic Places Trust chairman Ormond Wilson[3] were his grandsons. His brother-in-law and husband of his sister was the Governor of Jamaica, Edward John Eyre.[2] His second great-granddaughter is the Headmistress, Ormond Felicity Lusk. He married Hannah Richardson on 4 December 1860, the sister of Geordie Richardson.[2] He died on 6 October 1917 at his home 'Tintagel' in Napier.[4]
