Garroting.

--Five young men — Michael Holland, Wm. C. Baker, Wm. H. Brown, Philip Livingston, and James Smith — were before the Mayor yesterday, charged with assaulting and beating P. L. Gregory, on Saturday night last, and robbing him of $87 in money, a silver watch, and his hat. Gregory was met on Cary street, between 7th and 8th, where he was throttled by Holland, Smith giving him a blow in the face that disabled him for the time, and the party then robbing him. Brown and Baker were recognized by Gregory — the former as standing at a respectful distance in conversation with a woman, and the latter as leaving with his assailants after the robbery. With the hope of getting other parties to this night operation, the investigation was adjourned till Wednesday.
