This is the best summary I could come up with:
Daniel Graham, 38, of Milbeck Stables, Carlisle, and Adam Carruthers, 31, of Church Street, Wigton, Cumbria, are accused of causing over half a million pounds worth of damage to the much-loved 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 after it was cut down overnight on 28 September.
Now, the two men will attend Newcastle Crown Court on 12 June for their next hearing after they were both granted unconditional bail.

The lawyer claimed the loss of the tree had caused “serious distress”, as well as economic and social damage.
The case was “complex” and involved cell site analysis, number plate recognition technology, botany, evaluation of the tree and “image enhancement”, she said.
