The ringleaders entered Ormerods' Waterbarn Mill while their followerskept guard outside.
The cut the warps, destroyed the reeds and healds, and demolished thelooms. The damage amounted to £363-1-11, in a total of over £11,000 inAccrington, Blackburn and the whole of Rossendale. (See WilliamTurner's Riot)
