Two men accused of badger baiting are due to stand trial at Kingston Magistrates’ Court on October 25.

Tommy Cannon, 24, of Byland Close, Morden, and James Lawrence, 26, of Scawen Close, Carshalton, both deny charges brought under the hunting act and the gaming act.

They are accused of using dogs to disturb a badger sett at Park Farm in Chalky Lane, Chessington.
