TWO men accused of disrupting a fox hunt in west Wiltshire have appeared before magistrates in Trowbridge.
Aubrey Burge, 50, and Steven Dixon, 36, both faced charges of aggravated trespass relating to a fox hunt near Coulston on January 18.
Burge, of Rushall Road, North Newnton, is accused of blocking the passage of horses involved in the hunt. He denied the charge at the hearing on Thursday and will face a summary trial before Chippenham magistrates on April 16.
Dixon, of Omdurman Street, Swindon, is accused of spraying Citronella at the fox hunters during the disturbance.
He has not yet entered a plea to the charge.
