[A district judge said that the case of
two men accused of felling the
famous Sycamore Gap tree was so serious
that it must be dealt with at the crown court.

Daniel Graham, 38, of Milbeck Stables,
Carlisle, and Adam Carruthers, 31, of
Church Street, Wigton, Cumbria,
are accused of causing £622,191 worth of damage
to the much-photographed tree.

They are also accused of causing £1,144 worth
of damage to Hadrian’s Wall,
a Unesco World Heritage Site,
which was hit by the falling tree when
it was felled overnight on September 28.

Both the tree and the wall were said to
belong to the National Trust.]
