LONDON, Nov, 27.--At the sitting Of the
Parnell Commission today Scrgt Gilhoolcy,
OF County Kerry, testified concerning out
RACES. lie said TINT an increase Of police
had been necessary at Castle Island.
Sir Charles Russell, counsel for the Par
nollites, interupting the witness, said:
eve admit all that. W, arc sick and
tired of reltcmtion, entaiIing enormous
expense"
Presiding Justice Hammer said he hoped
the details would be given as briefly ~
possible.
Witness, continuing, said that since
1880 the police force had been doubled.
Prior 10 the founding of the League in 1880
the district had been quiet Ai,erward,
however, outrages had been general. On
cross-cxamination. witness said ho had
kept book for recording outpgcs.
Sir Charles Russell demanded that the
book bo produced.
Sir Henry James, of the Timo counsel,
said the book contained letters and official
communications respecting certain persons
and 1t was desirable they should not be
published.
Sir Charles Russell asked: "why should
the IimcS' counsel have access 10 the book
and We he denied tile same PRIVILEGE"
Until the Judge rule otherwise | shall
continue TO call for this and every other
book referred 10 in the case"
Mr. Reed, for the Parnellitcs, also urged
that the book bo produced. lie said il
counsel were not allowed 10 see tho book
they would not have an opportunity To
meet the case properly.
Justice Hammer said Il was highly de-
sirable that the whole book, including "A
column headed Motives" should be pro.
duccd. Special entries relating to certain
persons, ought not, perhaps, be disclosed.
lie suggested that Sir Henry James aud
Sir Charles Rus oil should inspect the
book, and then, II they did not glr q, the
judges themselves would inspect It. Other
policemen then testified at length CON
corning outragcs. MIR. Reed suggested
that in order 10 save time the witnesses
should state simply the number Of out
RACES they were cognilant OF and tho peri.
ods In which they were committed. Jus
tice Hammer welcomed the suggestion. and
Sir Henry james promised 10 comply with
Il ~ far as possible.

inc. lac declined TO give the name Of his
informant. Mr.. Reid pressed him for the
name, and witness finally appealed 10 the
court ior protection against the question.
Mr.. Reid complained that his clients
were at tho mercy Of an anonymous in
former. II ho had the name lac might
prove the informant 10 be the greatest liar
Ia the three kingdoms
Sir Henry James said the witness might
have good reason for Withholding the
name.
Justico Hammer suggested that Mr..
Reid ask the witness his reason for CON
ccaling the name.
Mr.. Reid said he would defer the qucs-
ton.
