In 1801 he accepted appointment from Jefferson as a federal bankruptcy commissioner.

The discharge took effect once a bankrupt obtained a certificate of the bankruptcy commissioners providing that there has been full disclosure and adherence to their directions.

Pacaud was bankruptcy commissioner for Trois-Rivières district from 1844 to 1850, which also required him to preside at the Court of Quarter Sessions and to serve as justice of the peace.

He does not appear to have achieved any remarkable professional success, but owing, presumably, to his family influence, he was appointed one of the bankruptcy commissioners in 1822, and Cursitor Baron in 1824.

However, during the next session, Thomson offered to return under certain conditions, and an Act was passed extending time and requiring him to appear before Parliament (or a committee of it) by 30 March 1732 and before his bankruptcy commissioners by 4 April.

The Bankruptcy Commissioner, Mr Cecil Fane, saw that the company could be revived with imaginative leadership and took control; he suggested that one track of the double track line from Six Mile Bottom to Chesterford should be lifted and used to create the intended link to Cambridge.
