Jacob stood in the February 1834 Dungarvan by-election as a Radical, with the support of Daniel O'Connell. He topped the poll, but the election was declared void on petition. The May 1834 Dungarvan by-election was held, which Jacob again won, this time taking the seat in Parliament.{{cite book |last1=O'Connell |first1=Maurice |title=The Correspondence of Daniel O'Connell: 1833-1836 |date=1972 |publisher=Irish University Press |isbn=9780905471013}} He stood down at the 1835 UK general election.{{cite book |last1=Stenton |first1=Michael |title=Who's Who of British Members of Parliament |volume=1 |date=1976 |publisher=Harvester Press |location=Hassocks |isbn=0855272198 |page=209}}
