Hi all

Trying to find out why James was in prison (Durham) - he died age 33 (out of prison).

Many thanks

There is a report in the  Newcastle Courant - Friday 07 January 1887  of a James Pringle being sent to prison for three monthsfor theft, but I can't see anything later.

As Stan says there is a report in the Newcastle Courant in 1887.
This James Pringle was tried along with 4 others and sentenced at Gateshead on 6th Jan 1887 to 3 months imprisonment  for stealing a box containing crockery and jam from the premises of a provision dealer in High St Gateshead.The report says they had all been previously convicted of larceny. No ages or addresses given for any of the accused.

Without any details of 'your' James Pringle, apart from his name, its hard to guess if this is the right person or not.
