| FILLED DREAMS.
On the night of May ] l, 1912, Mr..
Williams, of Scorrior House, near Red
ruth, in Cornwall, woke his wife, and in
great agitation told her of strange
dream he had just had. He dreamt he
was in the lobby Of the House of Com
mons, and saw man shoot with pistol
gentleman who had just entered the
lobby, who was said to be the Chan
cellor. His wife told him not to trouble
himself about the dream, but to 60 to
sleep again. Ho followed her advice,
but presently woke her again, saying he
had dreamt the same dream. Yet
third time was the dream repeated; af-
ter which he was so disturbed that, de-
spite his wife's entreaties that he would
trouble himself no more about the House
Of Commons, but try to sleep quietly,
he got up and dressed himself. This
was between and o'clock in the
morning. At breakfast Mr.. Williams
could talk of nothing but the dream;
and early the same morning he went to
Falmouth, where he told the dream to
all of his acquaintance whom he met.
Next day, Mr.. Tucker, of Trematon
Castle, accompanied by his wife,
daughter of Mr.. Williams, went to
Scorrior House on visit. Mr.. Will
liams told Mr.. Tucker the circumstances
of his dream. Mr.. Tucker remarked
that it could only be in dream that
the Chancellor would be found in the
lobby of the House of Commons. Mr..
Tucker asked what sort of man the
Chancellor seemed to be, and Mr. Will
liams minutely described the man who
was murdered IN his dream. Mr.. Tuck
er replied "Your description is not at
all that of the Chancellor, but is very
exactly that of Mr.. Perceval, the Chan
cellor of the Exchequer." He asked if
Mr. Williams had ever seen Mr.. Per-
ceval, and Mr.. Williams replied that he
had never seen him or had any commu-
nication of any sort with him; and fur
ther, that he had never been in the
House of Commons in his life.
At this moment they heard the sound
of horse galloping to the door of the
house; Immediately after son of Mr..
Williams entered the room, and said
he had galloped from Truro, having
seen gentleman there who had come
by that evenings mail from town, and
who had been in the lobby of the House
of Commons on the evening of the llth,
when man called Bellingham had shot
Mr.. Perceval. After the astonishment
which this intelligence created had a
little subsided, Mr.. Williams described
minutely the appearance and dress Of
the man whom he had seen in his
dream fire the pistol at the Chancellor.
as also the appearance and dress of the
Chancellor. About six weeks after,
Mr.. Williams. having business in town,
went in company with a friend to the
House of Commons, where, as has been
already observed, he had never before
been. Immediately that he came to the
steps of the entrance of the lobby, he
said: "This place Is as distinctly with.
in my recollection, in my dream, as any
! room in my own house," and he made
, the same observation when he entered
, the lobby. He then pointed out the
exact spot where Bellingham stood wher
he fired, and also that which Mr.. Per
ceval had reached when he was struck
t by the ball, where he fell. The dress
: both of Mr.. Perceval and Bellingham
agreed with the description given bJ
Mr.. Williams even to the most minute
3 particulars.
