DARING GAROTTE ASSAULT AND ROBBERY.—A most
daring garotte assault and robbery was perpetrated in
Hutchesontown on the night of Monday. About
nine o'clock a respectable woman, named M'Renzie,
was proceeding home up Hospital-street, carrying with
sore provisioning, when, opposite to close 52,
she was suddenly clutched by some persr,ns who stood
inside, and who proved to be three men, and, she thinks,
a female. They dragged her into the close, put a piece
of square cork into her mouth, and as soon as she
clenched the cork in her teeth, and closed her lips on it,
one of the assailants pressed his hand on her mouth, the
others fixed her bands together by means of a piece of
white tape, and in this state she was snatched up and
placed flat on her face on the gr..und, and before she
could get up and give an alarm the robbers were off,
having carried with them two hip dies she had with her,
one containing flour and the other oatmeal, the ring
from off her finger, and one shilling in money, which
she had placed hetween her open hand and a glove, to
get at which, along with the ring, it was necessary to
pull if the glove. Another woman had seen three sus-
, pieious-looking men lurking about the locality a short
time previous to the robbery, which is said by the woman
to have been niotit rapidly and dexterowily AMlClpliated.
