charged with. being drunk and ringing the bells of se-
veral houses in Marylebone-street. •

Pearson, C 73, stated that this morning about five
o'clock he was on duty in Marylebone-street, Regent-
street, when he saw five gentlemen, amongst whom were
the defendants, coming up the street towards him. The
defendants all at once left their companions, and went up
to Nos. 8 and 9 'in the street, and rang violently at the
door-bells. 'They then proceeded farther on and
knocked at the doors of two more houses. They were
about proceeding to another house wheirivitness went up
and to _:k into custody.
In reply to the charge, the defendants said they had
taken to t much wine or they would not have acted in
the foolish way they had done.

that early hour in the morning. He, should fine them
40s. each for the offence.

The money was immediately paid.
