Abstract
A poem that appeared in Punch in December 1862 entitled ‘The Song of the Garotter’ expresses the way in which garotting was equated with underhand thuggee:
H, meet me by moonlight alone,
And then I will give you the hug,
With my arm round your neck tightly thrown,
I’m as up to the work as a Thug.
