Tbo Town Clerk (Air., AV. S. Weeks,
as i t was sometimes calloil ” Alaying-in,” was formerly ])ractised in Clitboroo. Dobson in the first series of bis “ Rambles by tbo Ribble,” pnbHsbed in ISG-I says: “ Upon ono occasion when T >vas a t Clilberoo T met nn old inbabitaiil. He could tell of tlic la rk in g of bis younger days ami bow in Clitberoo and tbe ncighbonrliood, a diiy or ra th e r a n ig h t was set a p a r t for larks, ‘ Aliscliiof N ig h t ’ i t was usually called, and on th a t niglit the ovo ))f Ala.v Day i(April 30tb) the young men of tlio tlis tric t woro accustomed to remove gates from th e ir posts, to lak e car ts from farm yards and u pset lliem in to , ditches or into tb e ro:ulsido: lo open stable doors and lot liorsos a t large, and in sh o rt as tbo name expressed it , to do as imicb mischief ns they could.” Dobson adds th a t Altliougb not observed to as g re a t an ex ten t ns formerly, ‘ Afisebief N ig h t ’ was then still
