THE PARNELL CASE.
(By Klkctur! Tklkisraimi -Coi'Yßlcht.) London. October IH. The charges presented by the Times to the Parnell Commission allege that various organisations in ireland, including the Land League and the National Federation League, have been brought into existence, with the object of establishing Irish independence. The members of these bodies have conspired to promote agrarian agitation, and induce tenants to withhold the payment of rent. They were also guilty of intimidating people by means of boycotting, which had resulted in numerous outrages being committed. The funds which have been collected by the Leagues were disbursed in inducing persons to commit crime, to hinder the detection of criminals, and defending prisoners when upon their trial. Parnell is accused, 'while pretending to condemn crime, of writing letters to Byrne, Egan and Ford, approving of outrages, in connection with winch they were, believed to be associated. Sixty-five members of the Parnell party are implicated in the. charges. It is believed that the Parnell Com mission will last two mouths at least.
