sion be appointed to investigate the circum-
stances attending the TichbOrne trials. In
| powerful speech in support of his reeolu
ton, Dr.: kenealy referred to the growing
dissatisfaction at the result of these trials
and the manner 10 which they had been
conducted by the bench. Nothing short of
royal commission Of inquiry would content
the people of England, who we're convinced
that justice had not been done. He stated
he had received many letters from America
to the same effect. This discomfort
had grown into a torrent which was pour
ing over the land. TIE late ministry partly
owed its downfall to its conduct in regard
to the Tichborne case. He asserted that
he had positive proof that the Chief
Justice. Sir Alexander Cockburn in society,
while the trial was in progress, said he
would give the claimant fifteen years i'm
prisonment.
DIR. Kenealy spoke in severe terms of the
Pitt and Reign forgeries, and stated that
the claimant was unable to call more wit
nesses for lack of funds. The penalties for
contempt of court bad been directed against
one side only. The witnesses We're brow
beaten, and the partiality of the bench was
patent throughout the proceedings. DR..
kenealy declared he had sacrificed himself
to his sense of honor and duty, and had
been irretrievably ruined in his profession.
He believed that the motion before the
House would never be renewed in its
present form. Il was impossible to
predict the result ii this commission
should be- refused The defeat of the mo-
ton would spread dismay throughout the
country. DR.. Kenealy spoke three hours.
He was followed by Mr.. Whally. who sec
onded the melton. Sir Richard Baggellay
opposed the appointment of commission
for which there was not the slightest ground
.Nf sion al. Ill.
to have been made by the Chief Justice were
grossly misunderstood and misinterpreted.
Mr. Whally remarked that the House
seemed to be interested in the suppression
of an inquiry. which would lead to the ex-
posure OF Catholic conspiracy against the
Tichborne claimant.
Sir Henry James, who was attorney gen
erai under the last Gladstone ministry, de-
nOunced the motion as an attack on the
jury system, and delared the commission
asked for as unprecedented
Mr.. Disraeli said kenealy's speech was a
thrice-tOld tale; the charges of misconduct
made against the Chief Justice we're en-
tirely unsupported. Abiding to DR.. Ke-
nealy, he regretted that q talented man,
under hailucination, had destroyed his
own reputation.
Mr.. John Bright reviewed the testimony
in the TichbOrne trials, and declared that
he could not but agree with the jury in the
verdicts.
The motion of Dr. Kenealy was then
rejected by a vote of 4'3 nays to yea.
