Pagan, since receiving his sentence,
has been very attentive to the i'll
structions of the priests who visited
him. In an interview recently with
relatives he declared he had not hurt
q hair of Burke's head. His mother

The London papers of last Friday
declare that O'DonoVm Rossa and Pc
ter lyman are undoubtedly British
spies and under regular pay by the Eng

are backed up by certain dtt Tiled state
ments, which carry the impression
that the papers which make the re.
marks III e in possession OF gool deal
of information upon the subject.

genuine sensation among the members
of the different Irish circles i'll town.
| Nearly all the members of the Irish
parliamentary party ridicule the news
paper statement. and assert that no
well-informed IriSh-man i'll London

of both RoSSa and lyman. Some of
| the Irish leadeis here affect great i'll
dignation over what they call the pre-
tended disclosures, and characterize
them us government Inventions made
for the purpose OF injuring the Irish.
