some of his campaign experiences.

spoke to her after the custom of

Mr. Redmond then referred 10 the royal

For the last half of a century repre-

giish irish and Scotch members OF all

capacity TO bear taxation with England.
Certain members OF the committee have
believed certain proportion of this over
taxation was offset by the fact that the

When asked In regard to the arrest of
alleged dynamiters and the subsequent
appearance Of Jones. the American, as
an informer, Mr.. Redmond said:
..Of Jones performance | know nothing.
