The testimony of n ghost would not now count for much In n court of law, but the day lias been when It 1ms sufficed to lump a man. There was a ghostly accuser In n ease with which the readers of Scott arc familiar. Soon after the "45” an English soldier wan dering near Brnemar met a violent death. Years passed and then came a story of a communication from another world. A farm servant declared that In the night a spirit had appeared to him de claring Itself to he the ghost of the soldier, whose hones, It Is said, lay still unhurled. The highlander must see to their decent Interment and have the murderers, two men named, brought to justice. The highlander promised, hut did not keep Ills word, and a second anil third time the spirit appeared and upbraided him for his breach of faith. Alarmed at last and no longer daring to delay, the man called a companion and went to the spot which the spirit had Indicated and there found the hones of the mur dered warrior concealed In n moorland trnot called the hill of Christie. The story of the highlander came to the ears of an nntl-.Tacobltc. who caus ed the matter to lie brought to trial before the court of Judiciary, Edin burgh.
