Abstract:		 This paper is mainly concerned with the 'Whetstone Riots' of 1787, the second of two major outrages of machine-breaking that occurred during the final half of the eighteenth century. They were not only more serious than the riots of 1773, but revealed a number of more complex and far-reaching features. As part of a larger study into nonconformists in the trade and industry of Leicester, this investigation will examine mainly the victims of the riots, who in both incidents were nonconformists, rather than those taking part, although as far as the material allows, the composition of the crowds will not be neglected.
