sentenced to six months Imprisonment,
four months of which he served before
being released.
In 1884 he was called TO the Irish bar
and ever since then has conducted a
practice at Dublin which might have
become very lucrative had his politi-
cal aspirations and engagements al
lowed him to give il proper and system-
attic attention. II was in those days
that he wrote his fiery pamphlets
'Noyalty Plus Murder" which was a
startling expose of Orange methods.
and "a Word for Ireland" which was
and IA one of the most reliable and ex-
haustiye histories of the Irish land
question.
Healy's experience in parliament
from 1888 to 1890 was ultra sensational.
He was almost continually in evidence,
and by his impassjoned Oratory and
nervous personality offered the strong
est possible contrast 10 the calm and
imperturbable Parnell. When the Par
nell commission was Instituted to in
uuire into the allegations contained in
the "Parnellism and Crime" pamphlet
don Times. Healy was among the ac-
cused persons.
