ruv c,pporr-Tbis new method Of robbery has
loon introduced into thi, CITY, and was successfully
rroct;ced one night last week printer who hap
pensd 70 be out rather late. The garrote trick has
been in pre ctce in London for year or two and rs all
the rage with the more daring thieves. II is an uni
taton of the strapglng system Of the Thugs OF India,

con give no ALARM while confederate niles his pock"
ets lie ia left strangled and almost senseless, and
before he can get breath the robbers are beyond reach
II is not 20 much practced in Winter, as men are ~
much mufled up that their windppes cannot be easily
reached; but if TIE fellows who are now trying II oc-
easionay, just TO get the hang Of It, should make 1t
work satisfactorily we look for great doings in the

much safer than the knocking down system il is of
course much more geneel and will tickle the fancy Of
the swell mob, who always Ike ID do business in
quiet manner. In London, women are tavorte VIC
tins probably because their necks bare and easily
grabbed Cases ofrobberv by garote are so frequent
that Punch recently published an antidote, that
men should wear brass collars set with sharp spikes
for the especial benefit of the rogues who crawl be-
hind their victims with such ardent feeling for
fellow creature.
