THE PARNELL CASE.
(BY ELKCTMO TELKGItAI'H.— COI'YIUGHT.) London, May 10. Befohe the Times-Parnell Commission today, Father Considino was examined, and stated that the National League had never brought to justice any persons who had committed crime. He admitted saying in ISSO that every wretch who refused to join the League deserved to go to damnation. Father Considine then went on to describe the distressed condition of tenants living in Mayo, and said that their houses were worse than the kennels and stables of wealthy landlords. No attempt whatever had been made to alleviate their misery ; and neither Lord Dillon, who is an extensive landowner in Mayo, or his predecessors, had ever seen one of the -1500 of their tenants on their estates. He admitted having encouraged priests to become members of the League, and urged them to maintain its legality. The suppression of the League had, he said, caused a revival of secret societies. He disapproved of boycotting and shunning men as if they wore lepers.
