Barton made a single first-class appearance the Gentlemen of England against the Gentlemen of Kent and Sussex at Lord's in 1856.[1] In the Gentlemen of England's first-innings, Barton was dismissed for 12 runs by Tom Wills, with the team making a total of 195. The Gentlemen of Kent and Sussex made 91 in their first-innings and were made to follow-on in their second, making 168 all out. This left the Gentlemen of England with a target of 65, which they reached with 8 wickets to spare.[2] The following year he made a second first-class appearance for Sussex against Surrey at The Oval.[1] Surrey made 166 in their first-innings, with Sussex replied poorly in their first-innings, making just 35, with Barton being dismissed for a duck by George Griffith. Sussex were made to follow-on in their second-innings, faring in this innings than they did in their first, making just 31.
