Pity the Poor Garotters! mb-height 1397 a fireboat sprays fountains of'Pity the Poor Garotters!', 1872. A ruffian is howling even before the first blow. Watching is John Bull and assorted policemen.

Whilst the victim was thus disabled, the second criminal would empty the victim's pockets and relieve him of any valuables, such as watches and canes. From
