The petitioners apply for a summary review of their convictions under the Disorderly act by the recorder of North Bergen. The gravamen of the conviction was that they loitered on the highway and interfered with persons lawfully thereon.

The petitioners are entitled to be so informed in order that they may be able to- prepare their defense upon the merits. State v. Hatfield, 87 N. J. L. 124; State v. Allgor, 78 Id. 313.

The result is that the convictions below will be set aside.
