“TIMES” PARNELL REPORT.
London, Alarch 10. Mr Gladstone’s amendment to the Government motion regarding the Parnell Commission Report was rejected by 339 to 268.. Lord Churchill and Mr W. S. Caine, Unionist whip, did not vote on the amendment. Mr Jennings’ amendment is being discussed to day. During the debate Mr Sexton said there was grave reason to suspect the Government of suborning witnesses in favour of the “ Times.” He held in his possession a letter addressed by Lord Salisbury to Pigott after the latter’s forgeries had been exposed. Mr Balfour challenged him to read it. Mr Sexton said he did not mean to imply that the Premier conspired with Pigott. He would read the letter i the committee gave him leave. Mr Balfour rejoined that Lord Salisbury was willing to have it published anywhere. If the “Times” was culpably credulous, the Parnellites were culpably careless. Through the League criminals were paid, but never a shilling was devoted to the detection of crime. Silence about murders was purchased. The soldiers of the League were Moonlighters, and its paymasters preached dynamite.
