PARNELL's PACKED JURY.
The Irish Leader Pays His Regards
Ia Cham be Rain.

LONDON, July 30.-fn the debate in
the commons last night on the APP
pointment OF q special commission to
investigate charges against Parnell
and other nationalist members OF
parliament, the letter of Barrisfer
Adams in regard To- Justice Day S
bigotsd hatred OF Catholics being dis
cusse1 Goschen said that John Morley
had not shown the letter 10 any min
lister until Monday. Morley replied
that he only got the letter Saturday.
,io,chen said the government had
nc'time to communicate with Justice
Day to ask about the accuracy Of the
reported private conversations Of
Adams. Gheers.t The government
was entirely ignorant OF the politics
OF Justice Day.
Parnell said he had heard every of
fetal accused Of jury packing declare
that he knew nothing about the poll
ties or religion OF the jurors. Bat
somehow it always happened that
Orangemen were the Jurors pat on
laries to try Nationali sts and Catholics.
The government could no longer
plead ignOranee in regard TO a COM
mission composed of two conserva-
uyes and one unionist, and the world
would know tomorrow that the GOV
ernment's idea of fairness was that
Nationalist should be tried bv a Jury
Of three English political opponents.
