A LETTER FROM SULLIVAN.
DUBLIN, Jan. 3.-The Weekly Ne,rs
publishes letter from A. w. Sullivan. of
the counsel for O'DOnnell, in which he
describes an interview between himself
ana Roger A. Pryor and the woman who
was in O'DonnelPs company ON the
steamer. The girls name was Susan
Gallagher, from county Donegal. O'Don-
nell had separated, but not divorced.
from his wife six years ago, and had
persuaded this girl to accompany him
10 the Cape, where they were to
marry. From Sullivan's letter it
appears that the testimony of the Girl
would nave been of no value
TO ODOnnell in establishing the plea of
self-defense, and that explains why she
was not placed on the witness stand.
When she discovered the drift of their
questioning she was so entirely honest
and unsOphisticated that she confessed
teartully that she had not witnessed the
encounter between Carey and O'Donnell.
she was close at hand, but her attention
was directed another way.

ment. Of the 10 members who replied

lament in the event of the House of Lords
rejecting the franchise bill. Eighty-1ive
per cent: OF the replies are in favor of TAX

leges as are enjoyed by England.
