Western Mail

THE first hunting case has been brought by police in Wales since the Hunting Act became law three years ago.

Last night it was revealed that landowner Peter Rowley Williams, 48, of Llangwyfan on the Clwydian hills in Denbighshire is to appear before Prestatyn magistrates next week charged with permitting land to be used for hunting on January 2 this year.

William Francis Armstrong, 69, of Cefn, St Asaph, will appear with him charged with hunting a wild animal with dogs on the same day.

It is believed the charges arise from an incident during a meeting of the Flint and Denbigh Hunt, of which Mr Armstrong is “terrier man”. The hunt is based at Cefn.
