pealed to Father OShea as chivalrous
Irishnan to let him go on. Father O'Shea
was mollfied and said he would allow MIR.
Havitt to continue. But after Davitt had ut
tered few words in condemnation of Par
nell, Father O'Shea lost his self-control,
and continued to indulge in bursts of dissent
and Indignation, occasionally subsiding into
dogged silence when Davtt scored point.

by Davitt, Father O'Shea said: Friends.
let US hear Davitt, don't agree with him,
but respect him from the bottom of my
