ECONOMIZE TIME.
That Is the Mandate of the Par
nell Commission.

LONDON, Nov. 2O.-The ParnelI com
mission resumed its sitting to-day. At
terney General Webster, counsel for the
Times, complained of the difficulty ex-
perienced in bringing forward witnesses
from County Kerry. He called the
judges attention to an article i'll the
Kerry Sentinel (Mr. Edward Harring
toms paper, which stated that 1.-THE
judges composing the Parnell commits
sion were showing signs OF measles
now. although at the opening OF the in
quiry they had appeared to be sp0tieSs.
The judges were creatures Of the con-
spiracy entered into by the government
and the Times. and were manifeStiy un-
able to veil their prejudices." The,at-
torney general appealed to the court to
take action in the matter, as such pub
LEGATIONS tended to defeat justice and
amounted to the groSSeSt contempt. Mr.
Reid. in behalf of MI. Harrii.g on. c6m-
planned that no notice OF charge OF this
character has been given them, and it
was absolutely impOSSibie to make all all
Swer at present. He asked that the
matter be adjourned until tomorrow.
Presiding Justice Hammer and the attor-
ney general both agreed to this, and the
matter stood over. The examination Of
witnesses was then resumed. Farmer
Cultloy. of Castle Island. County Kerry,
testified that because he had Seryedilo-
tees Oh tenants in 1882 two men visited
him, and one of them struck him with
q spade and the other shot him in the leg.
The leg had to be amputated. He was
afterwards boycotted. On cross-eXam-
nation he said the quarters of the near
est branch of the leage was six miles
distant from his farm. He considered
that the rents throughout Kerry were
too high. He denied that the two men
who attacked him were relatives of
servant
GIRL WHOM HE HAD WRONGED.
Constable Mccarthy. who searched
the house Of Mcmahon, treasurer of the
league. testified to finding certain
papers. A letter from among them was
produced and handed to the clerk to be
| marked for future Identification, but it
was not put in evidence. Sir Charles
Russell asked to see the let
ter. Attorney General Webster refused
to accede to the request, saying
| that Russell was not entitled to see the
letter until it was read in evidence. He
persisted in his refusal, although Pre-
| siding Justice Hammer. after consulting
| with his associates. said it was the usual
| custom to allow counsel to see docu-
ments. Several witnesses from Kerry
attributed the outrages which had oc-
| cured in that district to the league, but
| upon crosS-exammation all of them
failed to connect the League with the
outrages. Shortly before the coumis-
sion adjourned. Mr.. Reid. in the absence
of Sir Charles Russell, appealed to the
| Times counsel to submit their testi-
mony as to outrages in bulk. dispensing
with details. The inquiry threatened
to last long enough, as at present con-
| Quoted, to ruin anybody. Sir Henry
| James said the Times was equally anx-
ious to limit the time and expenditure.
Justice Hammer said there must be an
effort made to economic time. He con-
sidered that there had been enough de-
failing of outrages. and counsel ought
to proceed with other branches of tes-
timOny.
