CURFEW.

We have received the following Replies to NABOC'S inquiry (Vol. ii., p.

103.) as to where the custom of ringing the curfew still remains.

_Bingley in Yorkshire._--In the town of Bingley, {312} in Yorkshire, the

custom of ringing the curfew existed in the year 1824. It may have been

discontinued since that year, but I do not know that it has.

It is also the custom at Blackburn, in Lancashire; and it was, if it is

not now, at Bakewell in Derbyshire.
