The papers relating to the transaction are in the hands of Mr.---, a writer (or attorney), who is now retired from professional business and resides at Inveresk, near Edinburgh.

He was a person whom I employed on that occasion for a particular reason, but who never on any other occasion transacted business on my account.

It is very possible,' pursued the vision, 'that Mr.--- may have forgotten a matter which is now of a very old date; but you may call it to his recollection by this token, that when I came to pay his account there was difficulty in getting change for a Portugal piece of gold and we were forced to drink out the balance at a tavern.' "Mr.Rutherford awoke in the morning with all the words of the vision imprinted on his mind, and thought it worth while to walk across the country to Inveresk instead of going straight to Edinburgh.

When he came there he waited on the gentleman mentioned in the dream--a very old man.

Without saying anything of the vision he inquired whether he ever remembered having conducted such a matter for his deceased father.
