A student of the Inner Temple, he was called to the bar in 1849 and practiced law on the Western Circuit. He made a third and final first-class appearance for the MCC in 1851 against Cambridge University at Lord's. Du Pré Porcher scored 87 runs in his three matches, with a highest score of 39. He married Emmeline Stratton in 1854. Du Pré Porcher died at Hyde Park in March 1876.
