Trio set for trial charged with hunting with dogs at Stourpaine

THREE men are due to appear in court charged with hunting with dogs.

Marcus Boundy, 21, of Kennelmans House, Exford, Somerset; Thomas Michael Lyle, 33, of Walnut Avnue, Bryanston, and 63-year-old Mark Anthony Pearson, of Chisel House, Little Hanford, Child Okeford, are due at Weymouth Magistrates’ Court on October 31.

All three deny a charge of hunting a wild animal with a dog at land near Hod Hill, Shaston Road, Stourpaine, on September 15 last year.

The trio pleaded not guilty to the charges in July.
