He became Rector of St Saviour and Dean of Jersey in 1850 and moved to be Rector of St Helier in 1875. He spent his last 6 years in England, (dying in 1888), having to leave the Island it is said for immoral behaviour, (a fact omitted by Bois).
He was baptised in St Helier on 17 March 1815. Educated at Winchester College, he was a fag to Lord Selbourne, who once beat him severely on the head with a frying pan for burning his bacon. Following Oxford, he was ordained Deacon in 1839 and priest in 1840. He was curate of St Olave's, Southwark. After having spent several years in the ministry in London, was installed as Rector of St Saviour on 17 January 1850. He was named Dean of Jersey and sworn in as such on the 16th of that month. In 1875 he became Rector of Saint Helier.
Dean Le Breton was an erudite man of a strong classic culture. He married in 1842 at St Luke's, Chelsea, Emily Davies, daughter of William Martin, and they had seven children, Dean Le Breton's notorious womanising eventually led to his leaving Jersey and ending his days in the poor London parish of Kennington. He died in February 1888.
One of the stories relating to his life concerns Marianne Impey Treeve who was born in 1829 at St Saviours. She was the daughter of Capt Richard Treeve (see S.2) She married John Searle, had children and died in 1907. Before marrying, she had a daughter, Barbara Impey, the illegitimate child of Dean Corbet Le Breton, born in 1850, the year he came into post. She emigrated to Australia in 1875, dying there in 1926.
