THE PARNELL CASE.
The Attorney General Continues His
Presentation of 1t.

LONDON, Oct. 23.-On the reaSsembl ing
of the Parnell commission to-day, Joseph
Biggar, one of the Irish members of parlia-
ment involved in the Times charges, per-
sonally requested that he be supplied with
copies of those speeches read from by At
torney General Webster yesterday which
referred to him.
The Attorney General promised to supply
them, and then continued with the presenta-
tion of the Times case. He said Mr. Par
nells supporters had been trying to exhibit
him as one who stood aloof from the anti
rent and plan of campaign agitatoIs,
but the fact was that as far
back as 1880 Mr.. Parnell had led the move-
ment, and in a speech in county Kerry in
that year he had told his hearers thai the
land league had plenty of money to defend
those tenant farmers who refused to pay
their rents. He referred to the wickedne IS
of the advice given by Messrs. Boyton,
Timothy Harrington and Father O'Leary
at the Barriclough meeting in 1881, and
said that at that time Mr.. Parnell and his
colleagues did not conceal their sympathy
with the leagues emissaries in crime
QUOTING FROM THE LETTERS.
The attorney general reviewed the his
tory of the league, and quoted from the
alleged Parnell letters which appeared in
the Times He said that before the case
was over all the circumstances under
which the Times became possessed
of the letters would be explained
and the names Of the persons from whom
they were obtained would be made known.
He declared that before the letters were
published they were examined by perfectly
independent persons. The handwriting was
compared with other of Mr.. Parnelrs writ
ings, and it was agreed that the letters were
undoubtedly genuine specimens of his PEN
manship.
The hearing was then adjourned.
