They marched up and down outside the house, singing, shouting, playing music and beating all kinds of tins. Some of those who were "kettled" did not mind in the least as they knew that it was not with any malicious intention that the men were doing it. There were others, however, who greatly resented it, especially when the thing was kept up for many nights in succession; so, with the passing of the years, the custom has been, more or less, dropped.
