At some point during the evening of Sunday 14th February 1813, persons unknown attacked two young plantations of trees in the Huddersfield area. One belonged to a man called Mr Hague, another to a Mr Horsfall (possibly John Horsfall, William's brother). At Hague's plantation, upwards of 500 trees were broken, with a smaller number at Horsfall's.
The date for these incidents is provided in a letter from Lieutenant-Colonel Lang at Huddersfield to General Acland of 25th February 1813, which can be found at HO 40/2/3.
