His Wealth in His Mind.

Imaginary wealth got a man into trouble in Edinburgh a few days ago. The man was being prosecuted for obtaining goods- on false pretenses. It was stated that he had been previously convicted in Edinburgh, and was formerly in the Royal Scots. He had a lively Imagination, and described himself as residing at Cranston house, Braemar. There was found in his possession a will, by which he bequeathed a number of legacies—giving $25,000 to one lady, and $5,000 to. the Sick Children’s hospital, Aberdeen. There was, hpwever, no Cranston house at Braemar, and all the wealth in the accused’s possession was about 11 cents.
