of Commons,


of ComuiOhs,
Especial to the REooRD-USioS.l
LONDON, February 23l.-Much excitement
prevailed in the House of Commons at the
opening of the session this afternoon, as it
was expected that Parnall would speak in
answer to the charges msds against him by
Fors6r Yesterday. A lerge number of per-
COOS were in the lobbies, being unable to find
room in the House. The strangers gallery
and the Peers gallery we're filled. and the
seats OF ell the members were reserved.
Parnsll said the utmost he desired to do
was to make his position clear to the
Irish people at home and abroad. He did
not care to impress his opinion on the House
or on England. Forster he said, ought to be
ashsmed for srsduciug hin. He declined to
reply TO Forster s questions, aud charged that
gentleman with having asked him (Psr1eill
TO disclo,e she secrets OF his associates. II
forster believed the articles published in the
Irish World were likely TO incite crime.
why had he rot stopped the circulation of
that paper? He compared the responsit ility
Of Forster, who had read the articles aud
believed what the result would be, to that of
himself, who never read them. though they
were brought sg inst him. Forster had un-
fairly singled our Sheridan as mentioned in
the Kilmainh m TIRE atty n nsgotiatior. Why
did he suppress the names OF D4vitt, Egan
and Boytou. also mentioned as likely to en-
deavor TO prevent cutrsges ia Ireland?
Forster exclaimed, They were not mer-
tiored by ne"

Forstst's unfairres5 was shocking. Parnell
analy zsd the evidence Of Carey, which he
said was not a statement Of fact, but of belief
and bearsay. It had been already disprcved
as regards Mrs. Byr0e. The evidsnce in

that he attempted TO obtain promise from
