nell's friends went to meet him at Garde
du Nord on the 18th. but contrary to ex.
pectations he did not arrive by either the
ordinary or the tidal train. Sexton, who
is in Paris at present, telegraphed to
London for news, but had received nc
reply ON the 10Th. Parnell's nephew,
who is son of Mrs. Thompson, was
buried at 2 o'clock on the 18th at st.

object in applying for release was really
to attend the funeral he will presumably
now go quietly back to Kilmainham.

waited for him all day at the Hotel de
Larmandi.
