That a house bears the reputation of being a disorderly house is not sufficient to prove the charge.51 But such general reputation is competent as tending to prove it is such a house.52

Evidence of the character of the inmates and frequenters of a house is competent as tending to prove that it is a disorderly house, and this may be shown by general reputation.53

If the proof shows that persons passing by the house on the public highway were annoyed, that is sufficient:54 and although but one person was annoyed or disturbed, that is sufficient if the conduct carried on in the house tends to annoy the entire neighborhood.55
