allowed Lord Arthur Somerset, for politi-
cal purposes.

RIGHT in his statement concerning Mr.. Dll-
Ion. but he commented strongly on the aD-
sence of the Leagues books. Pr. Lewis

secretary, OF removing the books OF the
leaue. A lively passage here ensued.
Mr.. Campbell declared that he last saw
the books In Liverpool, and SO far as he
knew the same books had been produced
before the commission.
Mr.. Lewis contrnded that every charge
that had been disprOved would have been
proved If the books had been produced.
Mr.. Sexton said be wished 90 explain on
behalf Of Mr.. Parnell why they refused TO
place at the disposal Of their opponents a
statement OF the finances Of the party.
Mr. Lewis asked if this was a legitimate
explanation which had been overlooked III
tho report The larnellltes had blankly
refused 10 accode 10 the applicationfOr the
producing Of the books before the com
mission. If they had been produced they
would have shown before all other evil
dence whether the respondents were honest
men OF criminals.
