The Times-Parnell Commission
By Electric Telegraph. — Copyright. [ PEK UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION. | London, May 8. Mr Parnell's cross-examination was continued before the Commission today. He agreed to produce his secretary's (Campbell's) shorthand notes of letters dictated to him. Sir E. Webster stated that witness' cheques showed that payments had been made to McCaffrey and Curley (Invincibles) and other suspects confined in Kilmainham Gaol. Mr Parnell explained that these payments were made before the suspects were charged with any offence, and rebuked his counsel (Sir C Eussgll) for not seeing that all the documents bearing on the point were produced. Further cross-ex-amination was adjourned until these documents could be obtained. Archbishop Walsh was then called and deposed that the Irish bishops now encouraged their clergy to assume responsible positions in the League. He considered the Land and National Leagues were a defensive necessity. The Attorney-General objected to the witness giving his opinion to the effect that the League had caused a reduction in crime, and Sir James Hannen, President of the Commission, ruled that an abstract question as to the working of the League was inadmissible, and the facts only must be stated.
