LONDON, February l3 The report Cf the
Psrnell Comm ission ia dated to-day, and
is signed by all three Of the Judges. Is
extends TO 12l closely printed pages, and
gives details OF the mode Of procedure
adopted. The Court reeitts the charges,
dividing them into nine categOries. The
greatest interest centers 10 the hnal con-
clusioD, which is as follows:
Fist-We find that the respondents,
mem beTs Of Parliament, were not members
OF conspiracy having for its oil act to
establish the absolute independence OF Ire
land; but, we find that some OF them, to-
gether with Mr.. Dsvitf, established and
oined land league orgapiz ,tion With in
tenticn by its means to bring about the
absolnte independence Of Ireland as sep
srate nation. The nance OF these re
spo1dants are Michael DAyit', NJ. Harris,
John Dillon, VIM. O'Brieu, W. Raymond,
J. 0Oonnor .Jos. Condor, j. j. . Kelly.
Second We find that the respondents
did enter into a c3nspiaacy to promote an
aerlgiisn agitation sgainst the payment
OF agricultural Tents for the purpose Of
impoverishiDg and expellipg from the
country the Irish landlords.
Third-We fad the charge that when
% certain occasions they thought II policy
{, dcnounce and did denouce certain crimes
in public, they sflerward led their sop
porters TO believe that such denunciation
WAS no, sincere, and ia not established.
We entirely acquit Mr.. Parnell and ether
respondent, OF the charge Of insincerity in
their denunciation OF the Pi ieIix Park
murders.
FOur,h-We find that the respondents
did disseminate the Irish World and o:hsr
newspapers tending TO incite seditiOn and
the commission OF other crimes
Flhh-We find that the refpondtnis did
not directly ipcite apy persons to the com
mission of crime other than intimidation,
but they did incite TO intimidation, and
that the consequence Of that incitemtnt
was that crimes and outrages were COM
mitted.
Sixth-we fad as to the allegation tia.
the respondents did nothing to prevent
crime.
Ssventh-We find that the respondents
did defend persons charged with agrsran
crimes, bu. that il has not been proved
that they made payments 10 procure the
escape OF such criminals from justice.
Eighth-We find AZ TO the allegation
thai the respondents made paymenta TO
compensate persons who had been Injured
in the commission OF crime, that they did
make such payments.
Ninth-As to the allegation that the re-
spo1nents invited the assistance and Co
operation and accepted subscriptions
OF money from known advocates OF crime
and the use tf dynamite, we in1
that the respondents did invite the assist-
snce aud corporation Of, and eccept snb-
scriptons of money from Patrick Ford,
known as an advocate Of crime, and the
use of dynamite; bot il has not been
proved that the respondents or
any OF them knew that the
Clan Ma. Gael controlled the Land League
or WAS collecting money for
Parliamentary fund but II has been proved
that the respondents Invited and obtained
the assistance and cooperation II the ply
seal free party in America, including the
Gamma. G. ,el, sni in order to obtain thst
assistauce abstsined from repudiatiDg the
action of that party.
Besides there remain three sptcllic
charges against Mr.. Parnell p rsonslly,
namely:
A-Tnat at the time OF the Kilmsinham
negotiations PArDell knew that Sheridan
aud Boyton had bsen organizing oulrage'
and therefore wished TO use them TO put
down outrages. We find this charge not
proved.
Thet Mr. Paruell was intimate with the
leading Ioyincibles; that ne probably
learned from them what they were sbout
when he was released on parole IN Apnl.
1882, and that he recogaiz ID the Pb"nih
Park murder rs their bandiwoik.
We find that there il no foundation for
this charge.
We find that Mr.. Psrnell did not make
any remittance to enable Byfne to escape
from nstice.
