Hibbert was a known republican and a recognised Greek scholar. He visited Richard Carlile (1796-1843) in Dorchester prison and gave him £1000. Carlile had been imprisoned for seditious libel in 1819. Hibbert refused to take the oath when later appearing as a witness in a case due to his atheism which caused outrage to the court. This in turn was said to have caused his death some days later. The Morning Chronicle for 28 January 1834 reported: ‘The deceased was known as a violent Republican. He was the person who appeared at the Old Bailey the session before last to give a character to a German named Berhold, who was convicted of a felony, and excited the disgust of the Court and spectators by boldly avowing himself to be an Atheist and speaking contemptuously of the Holy Scripture….it appears he dies in a fit of apoplexy.’

In 1830 Hibbert wrote to Godwin saying that he would be keen to undertake the education (for his amusement) of a youth, but he does not want to throw away his time on anyone who is not going to have an independent fortunewith a fortune, such as Godwin's grandson Percy. They had not previusly met. Godwin declined the offer.

Godwin records his death, but not the exchange of letters.
