A MAN accused of cruelty to horses has been told he has to turn up earlier for court every day, after failing to attend at all yesterday.
Yesterday the trial of five people accused of cruel treatment of horses on Spindles Farm in Chalk Lane, Hyde Heath, was held up after none of the defendants showed up.
James Gray, who is accused of 12 offences under the Animal Cruelty Act, told Bicester Magistrates Court was being examined by a doctor for depression.
The 46-year-old today had a condition put on his bail meaning he has to arrive at court or make contact with an official by 9.30am.
