James Court is a Fustian Cutter

Fustian Cutter A person who lifted and cut the threads in the making of Fustian, formerly a kind of coarse cloth made of cotton and flax. Now a thick, twilled cotton cloth with a short pile or nap, a kind of cotton velvet. A long thin knife was inserted into the loops and the threads cut as it was pulled through, stretched between rollers. The cloth was then brushed to raise the pile. Fustian is the old name for corduroy

Thanks Emeltee.

It looks like Daysalter but I take it as Drysalter.

It does say Daysalter but that does not seem to exist as an occupation whereas Drysalter does, so obviously an error.
