 To this scurrilleus outbreak, however, nobody pays the slightest attention, and doubtless the author and abettors' of tha. ry olf hoo och oH nf their work. Appropos of the allegation of Mir. Parnell and his friends that. the action brought against the home rule leader by Captain O'Shea was instigated by HarstOn in the interest of the Times. in tHe expectation that 1t would have the effect to weaken MT. ParnelPs suit for libel against the Times and draw public atten ion away from the commis- sion's report on the forged letters; it is worthy of note that the hearing of O Shea's case IS fixed for a time concur rent with the examination of Parnell's suit against the Times. The coincidence may 5e accidental, but nobody can be found who believes that it is, and as to the issue of he O'Shea action, epin- ion in general is that the Captain will emerge from the contest the most dis credited and dispised man in England.
