Convict Notes
James Gordon, Elizabeth Gordon or Young, Jane Yompri or Gordon, Hannah Gordon, and Mary Young, were placed at the bar, charged with eight separate acts of theft, committed in the parishes of Lumphanan, Tarland, and Coldstone. The articles stolen on these several occasions consisted chiefly of wearing apparel, poultry, &c. James Gordon pleaded Guilty, and the rest of the prisoners Guilty art and part. They were all sentenced to transportation beyond seas for the period of 7 years. Aberdeen Press, 15 Sept 1830. Art and part is a term used in Scots law to denote the aiding or abetting in the perpetration of a crime, or being an accessory before or at the perpetration of the crime. There is no such offence recognised in Scotland, as that of being an accessory after the fact. The prisoners all seem to be related.
Elizabeth Gordon was the aunt of Hannah Garden, convict on the same ship.
