  We investigate the possibility that the excess of four-jet events in $e^+e^-$
collisions at LEP-1.5 which has been reported by the ALEPH Collaboration could
be due to the production of charginos or neutralinos, followed by their decay
into quark jets through baryon number-violating ($\lambda^{\prime\prime}$)
couplings. An estimate at the parton level shows, however, that these events
cannot be due to neutralinos because of the low cross-section, and is unlikely
to be due to the production of chargino pairs because of the largely different
event shapes.
