By Electric Telegraph. — Copyright (PEB UNITED PRKSS ASSOCIATION.) London, October 27. Sir R. E. Webster, in his opening address before tbe Commission, produced the original famous letters. He intimated tbat he proposed to call a witness to prove Parnell's repugnance to sign the manifesto condemning the Phcenix Park murders, and stated that he was in possession of certain documents supplied to a clerk, who bad until recently been employed in the central ofiice of the National League, whioh would prove that the outrages were paid for, and tbat Mr Forster's name was mentioned. Altogether there are 400 witnesses to be examined. The Pall Mall Gazette declares that the documents in possession of the Attorney-General came from different sources, and that whilst partly genuine they are partly bogus productions, the vendors being uncertain whether The Times would keep their names secret. They offered the documents to several London papers for £1000, and The Times closed for a higher figure. The Parnell Defence Fund amounts to £11,000. October 30. An order has been made by the Times-Parnell Commission for the production by the Banks of the books belonging to the Land and National Leagues.
