Dreaming.—On Tuesday week, in the Jury Court, in the trial of a case connected with the Fife Bank, Mr. Dalziel, W. S., who was examined as a witness stated the following singular circumstances:—Some papers connected with the case had been mislaid, and, after very diligent search, all hope of finding them was given up, until the night previous to the trial when, he dreamed that the papers were lying in a particular place. On going to the quarter indicated he discovered them. We are well aware that other instances of similar revelations have been detailed, but we believe none of them are so well authenticated, Mr. Dalziel having stated it on oath. The Court, as might be expected, were very much astonished at the statement.
