got various documents from Mr.. Ander-
son, an official connected with the home
office, who allowed him to see all the
correspondence with the department on
this subject. Mr.. Anderson after

did so he would do it on his own re-
sponsibility. Anderson selected the doc
uments he thought would be useful in
giving evidence, but it was Houston

HEAD OF THE EXECUTIVE.
In 1882 the Brotherhood numbered
22,OOO members. That number is now
higher and is increasing. The sup
preston OF the league and the perseeu-
ton of Irish members of parliament
gave an impetus to the organization.
"Devoy," said LIE CarOn, ''is profess
sional Irish politician. After the con-
vention in 1881 both parties were of the
same mind about outrages. Some
thought that the league would become a
source of danger TO the Brotherhood"

port which read: 'Serious danger
menaces us from the league, which
threatens to crush revolutionary move
ment." The witness said he believed
the words in the report ''extreme lead
ers" referred to Parnellite members of
parliament. The League and Brother

wished to obtain the opinion of the
Judges whether it should be noticed.

America the Irish demonstrations were
