DISREPUTABLE ROUSES IN MARI LEBONE.

A deputation, consisting of Signor Ferrari, Dr. Rush-
forth, and Mr. Woodgate, waited upon the Msrylebone
vestry on Saturday, for toe purpose of urging upon the
vestry the immediate indictment of certain houses of a moat
immoral end disreputable character 111 Norton-street, Port-
land-place.
Mr. F t said be bad been several times before the
old vestry up n this subji ct, but he could get no anis:ince
whatever from them in It c matter. The scenes which were
perpetrated in (riot of Vie boars,,, and in the drawing.
moors of the boom opposite, were of that immoral and dis-
gusting character that it was impossible that any persons
who had the slightest pretensions to morality could pus
down Norton street. The scenes enacted were a disgrace
to any civilised society, and he would not pain the ears of
the vestry by entering into detail. On a former occasion
they had been referred to the parish solicit r, and whoa
they did so his first demand was 71. for each bouts to begin
with. He ceesidered they were justified in calling upon
the vestry to protect the common aecencies of society by et
onew prosecuting these pram
Mr. WOODOATS said be resided at No. 50, Nerton-streste
the house formerly occupied by the carats of Trinity Church.
Mr. Mould. Immediately opposite, No. 54, was a home of
a vile daterip•im. They could get no rest sight nor day,
either from cries of " murder," or eats or other nuisances.
Dr. ittsaFORTH observed that doors war to t red in
with sledge hammers, and other di,grae• ful Kew took
place, and be was convinced that the pariah lost finaccially
by allowing such disgraceful places to continue. B,me were
French house', upon the tame principle as that in Newman-
etreet.:oa conviction. the law was six months' hard labour
sod if the vestry would take up and pursue three or four
cams, he thought that they might gat rid of the ra minder.
Mr. Broughton tse magistrate, Mr. Graeae, the lion. and
Rev. J. T. Pelham, Mr. W. Williams, M I'., Mr. Bliddon,,
Mr. Russell, and other gentlemen, expressed their sympathy
with the deputation, and Mr. Burdon said the landlords of
the houses were the teal delinquents, and should be held
responsible.
The deputation were advised at once to produce evidence,
and it was resolved " Thtt the complaist of the applicants
be referred to the
parch solicitor, and that he he requested
to repot t to the vestry whether, in his opinion, the mita nth
• so probed will be sufficient to suave coaviction of the
' parties."
The deputation then retired, and after some other busi-
ness the meeting separated.
