Thomas Holland, second mate of the ship Star of the West, lying at pier 46 East river, was passing through Cherry street, near Rutgers, on his way to his vessel, when nt ornine men sud- denly sprang upon him, and while one choked him and two or three others held him, between the rest his watch and chain and $40 in money were taken from him. As soon as they began to let him loose he drew his revolver and fired, his purpose being to alarm tire police, in which he was happily success- ful to the extent of csptonnd. two of the garotting gang.

From tie decisions of these boards the bill provides no appeal, Tis bill has evidently been prepared by other parties than those directly interested. So far as we can jearn no member of this tion has been con- suited in reference to it, and our first knowledge of it was derived from copies sent'to a few of our ijem- bers.
