Oxfordshire
The following people were tried for machine breaking, riot, and arson in Oxfordshire during 1831.
I have not yet published an account of the riots in Oxfordshire and although I have quite a lot of information on those who were involved, and I am adding to all the time, I don’t feel I have enough to offer individual printouts (or PDF downloads) yet.
