Two Featherston brothers have pleaded not guilty to aggravated burglary and wounding with intent in relation to a confrontation in Carterton in January.
Califf Anthony Dickson, 25, and Dane Johnathan Dickson, 23, are jointly charged with wounding a man with intent to injure him in Carterton on January 13.
They are also jointly charged with burglary while carrying weapons, namely a crowbar, a pistol and a hammer.
Dane Dickson is charged with two counts of intentional damage and four charges of threatening to kill or cause grievous bodily harm with a firearm.
Judge Peter Butler granted an application from the Crown to hear the two cases together, with no objection from Dane Dickson's lawyer.
