Robbing.

--Charles J. Mitchell, a young man, charged with garroting and robbing Hugh B. Arnold of $15, come few nights since, was before the Mayor yesterday. Arnold testified that whilst he was in Wm. H. Stewart's eating house, near the Central Depot, the prisoner and a man named Smith came in and took a drink with him. He then started to the depot, his new acquaintances accompanying him. After going seventy-five yards Mitchell threw something around his neck, and exclaiming "now," Smith seized him, and, notwithstanding his cries, the two soon choked him down, robbed him, and then ran off. Stewart heard Arnold's cries for help, and hastened to his assistance, arriving just in time to see the robbers leaving. The Mayor remanded the accured to answer for the robbery before the Hastings Court.
