The report said the Parnelites, by speeches,
melted intimidation which led to crime, and
whom they had not assisted in maintaining
order by denouncing the advocates OF physical
force. These charges were ten years old. 1t
was a bad and dangerous precedent to recur TO
these long dated in order to obtain matter TO
hurl at the heads of political antagonists.
"Did not the Tories themselves think some
thing could be said in behalf of Parnells policy
when Lord Carnsryol, under the assent of Lord
Salisbury, asked Parnell TO devise scheme OF
government for Ireland?

lam Vernon HaIcourt to APOLOGIZE for that cal
jimmy.
HaTcourt rose sDd said he never heard such q
statement, and then declaring thai he would
not stay TO be abused, he left the house.
Sir Michael. continuing. said the charges on
which the PaTnellites had been acquitted were
possibly more important to themselves and
their personal honor. but the charges on which
they had been proved guilty were more import
ant to the community, because they related to
practices the revival of which would be fatal To
the liberty ana prosperity of the country.
