THE DESPAIR OF AN UNEMPLOYED.

An unemployed workman named Thomas Snooker, living in the Falcon-road, Battersea, on Friday committed suicide by cutting his throat with a carving knife. He had been out of work for three months, and had been very despondent over the fact that he could not give his wife and two children “a merry Christmas.”
