We regret to announce the death Of
Mr.. Edmund Leamy, M. z. for North
Kildare. The sad intelligence reached
Dublin on Saturday from Pau, France,
where MIR. Leamy was staying for the
benefit of his health.
Mr.. Leamy, who was born in Water

best known members of the Irish Par
ty which he joined in 1880 as rcpresen-
tative of Waterford. Subsequently he
represented Northeast Cork and
South Sligo.
lie was IL member of the Irish Bar
but devoted himself to journalism. A
charming book of Irish fairy tales re-
mains as evidence of his rich Celtic
fancy and graceful style. He was a
speaker of singular ability, but owing
to the state of his health delivered few
speeches during recent years. The last
notable occasion upon which he was
heard in the House of Commons was
when the inspection of convent
laundries was proposed. Mr.. Leamy
delivered Il speech that moved men,
bers Of all parties in the House.
He was very popular with his
colleagues. and his death will be
specially regretted by those who re-
member him as Il comradc in the fight
for close OH Il quarter of century.
Mr.. John Il. Redmond, M. r., re-
ccivcd in the afternoon confirmation of
the sad news of the death of his old
friend and collcag que. and finding that
Mrs. Lcamy was in Pau alone and I'M
assisted took the prompt step of COM
mlmicating with Mr.. Patrick O'Bricn,
NJ. r.. and requesting him. in the name
| of and ON the part of the members of
the Irish Party. to proceed forthwith
to meet the hcrcaved lady ut Pau, and
render all necessary assistance in the
sad circumstances
Mr.. Patrick O'Rricn accordingly left
Pau on Saturday evening.
