He had a small scar on his right arm, dark eyes, brown hair, was 5'6 1/4" tall, and single. James's conduct record was bad, he seemed to like stealing things, a goat, a bag of shot etc., along with insubordination, neglect of duty, and so on. 6/1/1842: TOL 1/6/1843: Free Certificate. 7/2/1844: Inquest held at Hobart: James died by the accidental overturning of a dray upon him, whereby his ribs were fractured and one of his lungs injured.
