Magistrate Bishop- has- in-> ptoned. an anthwii< to -that effect. .The? <k)bly v comf disable xbcrt ! is no class.; : and it might as well be told hereift so. He has f6ur T children, and the>. dog— an able-bodied ,■ dog— doesirifc - .■work worth -twopence. - r The scoundrel, is a. general laborer who does 1 t not. labor at 'all, nor does -he ■. want , fto. The woman, his wife, has 'been Keeping her .little four "steps- of > ; stairs" on her own with the assistancle of relations, although her dar—Jllint husband 'has been sleeping m thieP , aame bed with her. And he is sleepfing m the same bed to-night. NovjVf kwhat kind of a swine is he? Why." j.should the lady stop m ,the sanae Ihouse with the lovely loafer ? It is.- --: rather too strong. The fellow admitted that he drank, and had been ■FINED FOR. DRUNKENNESS. ' .He; is a laborer and has been em-- ■$ ployed at Addmgton until a week or • i. so ago. The beak told him he should be* i Ashamed of 'himself, and that he 'should, support his family. Still the «spot was unmoved.

As if that amount would .sup-: port i-hem ( all the week for one week and then the fond and beautiful fathpr stepped from the box and kissed the eldest child, and led him by- the ■hand out the door, the wife followiTnp. Well, there was a reconciliation tout was there need for it. ' No. i(Why don't people work ? The defendant m this case should, and should be made to. What's the use' of writing about the skunk, anyhow.
