PARNELL.
The Irish Leader Present Yester
day at the Proceedings Of
the Commission.
Attempt to Discover the Names OF
Authors OF Articles in the
Times.

LONDON, February 19.-The court room
was crowded to-day when the Parnell
commission resumed its sitting. 'Messrs
Henry Labouchere, John Morley, Right
Honorable Geo. Shaw, Lefevre and other
prominent persons were present. Mr.
Mandel manager of the Times, was the
first witness. He was cross-examined by
counsel for the Parnellites. He declined
to say whether he regarded the letters of
January and May 10 as the only i'm
portGnt ones among the first five which
Mr.. Houston, secretary of the Irish Loyal
and Patriotic uuion, handed to him.
Presiding Judge Harpan sharply re-
buked witness for his refusal.
Mr.. Macdonald, in reply to further
question, said the letters had to be taken
as whole, and that as a whole
they were compromising. Mr.. Mao.
Donald SAID the Times statement
that knives and firearms we're kept in the
league Office in London, was based upon
information supplied to the writer OF the
article in which the statement was made.
He did not know directly who wrote the
article and he was not bound to tell it If
he did know. The editor of the Tim es
was responsible for the statements of his
paper, and therefore counsel was not en-
titled to demand by force names of con
tributors.
AT this point in the proceedings Mr..
Parnell, warmly wrapped in long cloak,
though the weather was mild, entered the
court room and took seat at the solicit
ors table.
Mr.. Asqueth, of counsel for Parnell,
urged that he was entitled to demand the
name of the author of the article because
he was bound to test the truth of such
grave statement.
Sir. Chas. Russell supported Mr.. Asqueth
arguing that the question was relevant
The court ruled Mr.. Asqueth was en-
titled to investigate this matter in order
TO ascertain tho foundation of the state
ment.
Witness said he could not name the
writer without making inquiries.
Mr.. Asqueth asked witness to obtain the
names of the writer5 of the articles in the
Times.
Mr.. Macdonald appealed to the bench
for directions whether he was compelled
20 answer.
Presiding Justice Hammer ruled counsel
was not to ask witness to make inquiries,
but might question him as to anything
within his knowledge in connection with
specific facts.
