HARD ON PARNELL.
The Edinburgh Court Says 1t Has
No Jurisdiction.
HIS CASE DISMISSED.
THE Famous IrIshman's suit Against
Tie Times for Libel Comes TO
an UntineIy End-He Must
Pay the Costs.

EDINBURGH, Feb. 6.--The Edinburgh court
has rendered a decision IN which it holds that
It has no jurisdiction il the action for libel
brought 10y Mr. PANEL against The London
Times.
The court has therefore dismissed Mr. Par
nells action, with the cost Of appeals.
The judgment was rendered on the ground
that Mr. Walter was only one of a copart-
merry owning The Times, and consequently
the arrestments made against him as an indi-
vidnal were invalid
LONDON, Feb. 5.--At the session Of the Par
nell commission Sir Richard Webster, attor-
ney general, counsel for The Times, said that
be had finished with the Irish portion of the
case and would now proceed with the Amer
lean testimony.
A witness named Beach was then placed
upon the stand He testified that he had
joined the Fenians in 1865. After the failure
Of the invasion of Canada lac joined secret
society call the s'B c. the object of which
was 10 obtain money to ship arms to Ireland.
Messrs. Parnell and Dillon, he said, visited
America in 1850. The two men were present
at a meeting exclusively organized by the
United Brotherhood or the Cian-na-GaeL
The witness said he had attended several
meetings in America at which Messrs. Dillon
and Parnell were present. Parnell was pres
ent at a demonstration in Chicago at which
the members Of the Clan-na-Gael and Hiber-
nian rifles were under arms.
Beach showed to the court a copy Of tie
constitution Of the .sB c." society. Its OBJ
ject was n concerted action with the Irish
brotherhood and other secret societies for the
combination OF revolutionary movement
throughout the world TO act decisively
Against England.
In 1878 John Dewey and Gen. Phellen were
sent as delegates 20 Ireland, and raised $4,000
from the sxiITnishing fund
Sir Richard Webster then read Devoy's re-
port, showing that he wanted delegates sent
10 Ireland TO prepare Irishmen for the use of
arms. Witness Beach said that Patrick Egan
had told him That Mr. Parnell wanted to join
Tho Irish Brotherhood, but thought that such
an act would destroy his usefulness in other
directions. This evidence was not allowed by
the court
