Shanghai Library
By 1851 Vacher had transferred to Shanghai, where from 9 August he was an authorised representative of Gilmam, Bowman, &amp; Co. Vacher was a member of the Shanghai Municipal Council from 1852 to at least 1856, where he was a member of the Committee to study the erection of a new building for the Shanghai Library in 1852, and also a member of Committee II: Assessments of Foreign-owned property. In August 1855 Vacher was still resident in Shanghai. In May 1856 Vacher and Charles Wills (died in Shanghai in 1857) were assigned the assets of bankrupt British merchant Peter Felix Richards (died in China in 1868), which included the lugger-rigged vessel the "Margaret Mitchell", and the Richards Hotel and Restaurant.
