PARNELL DIVORCE.
(by electric tbleghaph.— copyright.) London, November 15. In the Divorce Court to-day the petition of Captain O'Shea for a divorce from his wife on the ground of her adultery with Mr Paniell, was begun. Neither Mrs O'Shea nor Mr Parnell were represented by counsel. The evidence of servants in the employ of the petitioner was strongly in support of the charge ; and Captain O'Shea, in his evidence, denied connivance, also the counter charge of adultery, and that in 1881 he had challenged Mr Parnell to a duel. The case was adjourned. It is stated that Mr Parnell resigns the leadership of the Irish party. In connection with the O'Shea divorce case tho Solicitor-General denounced the conduct of Mr Parnell in declining to appear before the Divorce Court and justify his false and faithless betrayal of a husband's confidence.
