ANOTHER. DREANL—A reverie
,of singular itn-
port was last night, in I-39w,.street, submitted to
Mr. BOND and Sir W. PARSONS, who ;tact' as in-
terpreters upon the occasion. A Mrs, Di ETR
CHEN, of Newman.street, exhibited Articles of
Peace against her husband, and ainfang (Wier out-
rages, stated, that on Sunday te'n :ight, at br'eak-
fast, 'he told her he had dreamed a dream, aril
if it elver crtme true, he would take up the first
knife he could get, and stab her. The husband at
first declined m2m io;ing the particulars of his dream,
but upon being pressed by the Magi.strates, declar-
ed that he had dreamed his and what
he had uttered was u,lder tit: influence of the "green:.
eyed monster." The interpretation of the --dream
was so unfavourable to the husband, that in default
of bail, Queen Mab must have paid him' her next
visit in Bridewell.
