THE PARNELL COMMISSION.
[per press association.] London, July 24. ,?V Mr Parnell objected to the extent and. scqpe of the enquiry, both on the ground of expense and because it would probably be prolonged for years. It was really intended as a means of discrediting the great 1 rish movement. The authenticity of the letters produced by the " Times " might be, settled m a week, and this ought to be done before any other investigations were set on foot. Mr urged that a Select Committee was the proper tribunal to conduct the enquiry. Mr Matthews said that the anxiety shown to limit the powers of the Commission created a suspicion that Mr Parnell did not desire full enquiry. The Commission Bill was read a second time on the voices. ; Mr Chamberlain has declared his belief m Mr Parnell's innocence, and has suggested that the State should pay the costs of tbe successful party m the case.
