CoRK, March 23.-Timothy Healy, M.
r., when leaving the court room today,
at the conclusion Of trial in which he
was interested, was soon surrounded by
bowling mob, who. followed him
along the street and made number oI
attempts to assault him. The crowd
finally became so violent that Healy, to
escape his tormentors, was compelled to
beat retreat and take refuge
in the dressing room of the
Victoria hotel. But this proved
only temporary place of safety,
for before Healy could recover from the
effect of the mob's rough usage, man
suddenly rushed into the room. turned
out the light and then struck Healy a
powerful blow in the face, smashing his
eyeglasses into pieces.
When assistance arrived and the room
was lighted, Healy was found to have
been badly injured, as he had received
numerous cute from the broken pieces of
his eye glasses, and blood was pouring
down his face in streams. He was re-
moved to room and physicians sum-
moned. Three doctors are now in at
tendance. They have made an examin-
alton OF the wounds in his eyes, and ex-
press fears that Healy's injuries may
result in the loss of his sight.
Healy's assailant is O'Brien Dalton,
who was connected with the Tipperary
conspiracy. He upbraided Healy for
an insulting speech which he says
Healy made while Dalton was in
prison. He then struck Healy. The glass
injured the coats of Healy's left eye,
and inflicted a,wound an inch below the
eye lid. 1t is feared Inflammation will
ensue.
1t was announced today that Parnell
had written letter to the Cork COM
mittee, in which he says the tone of
studied insult, and the untruthful char
acter Of the statements made in Healy's
letter, accepting his lParnell's). chal-
lenge that they should both resign
their seats in parliament and come
forward as candidates for re-elec-
ton, debars him from communicating
directly with Healy, or with the latter's s
friends. Parnell adds that it is impos-
sible to expect any agreement to be
respected by his opponents, longer than
expedient. However, he has placed his
application for Chiltern Hundreds in
Nolan's hands, requesting him to for
ward it directly. Healy submits him
self before the electors OF the division Of
Cork, which he represents.

terms of imprisonment in Galway Jail,

Maurice Healy, when questioned to-
day about Parnell's letter to the leader
ship committee, saving his application
for Chiltern Hundreds is in the hands
of Nolan, said he had not seen the let
ter referred to, but if his resignation
was genuine, he, (Healy) would
instantly meet it.
