Convict Notes
Who was James? Where did he come from? Hoping to uncover his story and share that here at a later date.
James Aston took some breeches, pocket change and buckles which belonged to the person he was lodging with. He was caught wearing the breeches. Digital panopticon has linked him with the Active.
