A TAILOR'S PROSPECT.—A journeyman tailor was brought up yesterday at Union Hall, for neglecting to maintain his wife. He stated that he could find no work; but added—"Your worship, if it pleases the Almighty to take the King to his bosom, there will he plenty of work for the tailors, and I expect to get some- thing to do as well as others; and then I shall support her; but if that does not take place, what am 1 to do?" Magistrate—"If you look forward to such an event as that occurring before you obtain employment. I trust you will he disappointed." Finally, Snip was given to understand, that if he did not contrive to maintain his wife, he should be sent to the tread-mill.
