Lady Eva Qnin, who is reported to have been tiger- shooting in Upper India, is probably the first laoywho has tried her hand at such dangerous sport. And yet she killed five tigers. Mrs. Brown Potter is an advocate of dress reform, and does not wear a single corset in any of her costumes. Like Mrs. Cleveland, she has discarded what she calls that" abominable decree of fashion—the bustle." A GRAVE SOCIAL PROBLEM. In his annual report, the Chief Constable of Chester says that unhappily public encouragement is given, for the best of motives, to a system of begging which has assumed such proportions as to form a grave social problem. The little chapel of St. Gilgen, which contains the singular inscriptions that forms, as it were, the text upon which Longfellow's romance of "Hyperion" has been written, stands on the south side of the churchyard. The inscription itself is on the eastern wall. and reads thus :—" Look not mournfully into the Past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the Present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowdy Future, without fear, and with a manly heart." RAILWAY COLLISION.—EIGHT PKRSONS KILLED. —A serious railway accident occurred on Monday on the New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio Railway. As a passenger train was proceeding eastward it came into collision with a freight traiii near Kent, Ohio. A ter- rible scene followed, eight persons being taken out of the wreck dead, while six others were more or less 4eriously hurt. The Pope, in an audience he gave a few days ago to teveral American prelates, instructed them to strenuously tombat the Socialist movement which has lately begun amongst tbe Irish Roman Catholics settled in America. If the measures taken privately should not prove suffi- cient, a Papal rescript, similar to the one addressed to the bishops in Ireland, will probably be sent to America. JOURNALISTS INVITED TO THE MANSION HOUSE.—The Lord Mayor of London has invited the members of the London branch of the London Association of Journalists to a conversazione at the Mansion House, in t be evening of February 23. In addition of this act of courtesy on the part of the Lord Mayor, Alderman Whitehead has also granted the use of the Long Parlour and the Egyptian DQOQI for the annual meetings of the executive of the association and of the London branch. As the invitation to the conversazione is extended to the wives of members, it is expected that at least 600 persons will avail them- selves of the Lord Mayor's hospitality. 3EWARC OF BORROWING MONEY on the tontine ovstem. The Corporation of Boston, in Lincolnshire in 1815 borrowed £10.000, secured upon the lives of sixty-eight persons, nominated by 100 subscribers of £100. each. Boston has already had the pleasure of nayio? £ 51,800, for the accommodation, and five of the ben6fic^aries are still living. As the youngest is only 75—mere infancy in anybody who has an interest in a tontine-a good deal more will have to be added to that pretty little sum. It is better to trust yourself to the tender mercies of a money-lender at once than to the short lived of tontine people.-St. James's Gazettee. A PLAUGE OF TIOSKS IN JAVA.—According to the ad- ministration reports of Java recently laid before the Dutch Chambers, portions of that island are being de- populated through tigers. In 1882, the population of a village in the south-west of the Bantam province W9,8 removed and transferred to an island off the coast in consequence of the trouble caused to the people by tigers. These animals have now become an intolerable Pe8jv1!? parts of the same province. The total population » about 600,000, and, in 1887, 61 were killed by tigers. and incon- sequence of the dread existing among the people, it has been proposed to deport the inhabitants of the viiliages most threatened to other parts ef the country where tigers are not so common, and where they can pursae their agricultural occupations with a greater degree of security. At present they fear anywhere near the borders of the forest. The people at present seem dis- inclined, or they lack the means and courage, to attack and destroy the enemy, although considerable rewards are offered by Government for the destruction of beasts of prey. In 1888 the reward for killing a royal tiger was raised to 200 florins. It appears also that the immunity of the tiger is in part due to superstition, for it is con- sidered wrong to kill one unless he attacks first or other- wise does injury. Moreover, guns were always very rare in this particular district, and, since a rising a few years ago, have been taken away by the authorities altogether*

MAREIED SEVEN TIMES.—A man must have a good deal of courage to marry seven times, and a l*dv who undertakes to become the seventh wife must equally we should say, be courageous, for she has to stand comparison w_ith her six predecessors. The matrimonial experiences of a Mr. Fuller, of Courtland, in America, who, we read has just led to the altar his seventh bride, has been in many ways remarkable. He seems to have taken to roarnage and all pertaining thereto as a fish takes to water, to judge by what he has accomplished duting the last twenty-five years. His dairy shows that within this period he has received twelve hundred replies to his matri- monial advertisements, exchanged four hundred photo- graphs, made one hundred and nineteen proposals, accepted in eighty-five cases, married seven times, divorced four times, paid one breach of promise damage, been shot M tmce' Tt»is is, indeed, a well-filled record for twenty-five years; and as the enternrisinz gentleman is still in the prime of lif^ j, enterp g still further distinguish El?b £ j"J? doutfess perchance, his seventh wife should nm. ,s a^ ,s' further undertakings in the matrimonial llniV ^I-6- hi.,™. bJ ti„ „• £ £ £ ?* ss *? classes devoted to them at the summer shows whitoth prices paid for promising specimens would astonish those who regard ponies merely as useful slaves. In the stable economy of both town and country life, the pony plays a prominent part; he not only carries the junior members of the family in their early lessons, but he is usually the first boy's hunter, and is very largely used for harness purposes as well. Those who advocate the use of small horses as being both handier and hardier than overgrown specimens certlinly find their theory well exemplified in the case of ponies. Their youthful riders are usually in the saddle for as many hours as they are permitted to ride; and when, as sometimes happens, two or three juveniles have but one pony between them, the diminutive steed can scarcely be said to eat the hay and corn of idleness while to be capable of as much work as a butcher's pony," has long been a standard phrase for signifying hardihood and endurance. In point of soundness, too, ponies show a remarkably clean bill of health, being as a class remarkably free from defective wind, ring and side bones, and curbs, all of which ills affect full-sized horses to a somewhat alarming extent, as both owners and members of the veterinary profession can testify. Nor is it in England alone that ponies are in great demand. In many parts of the United States a ready market is found for them, aud during the last few years English, Welsh, and Scotch ponies hive been ex ported from our shores m great numbers, while the high fhlrfr ot? nf 1 I?

LOAINA AKD FINDING A BAO OF GOLD.—It la reported that the bag of sovereigns lost by the man Blake at Canterbury— who was sent to the local bank by his em- ployers-bas been recovered under remarkable circam. stances. The attention of the police was excited by a woman, known to be very poor, changing a sover- eign at a tradesman's. The poor creature had picked up the bag, and, returning to her husband, who was ill, re- marked to him, The Almighty has been kind to ns, and has sent this bag of sovereigns. Then the police called upon her. They found forty-six of the lost sovereigns concealed under the old man's bed. The invalid had concealed five of the coins under his pillow. 0- +- +- ESTABLISHED 1825. FOR INFANTS, NEAVE'S FOODSS AND THE AGED. BEST &c CHEAPEST. 3456 PEARS' SOAP Fair white bands.

SWANSEA EXCHANGE. This being the first exchange after the Birmingham Quarterly meeting, there was a full attendance and there was considerable animation shewn in wrioas depart- ments. The following members were present:—Messrs. John Cady, Dillwyn and Co. J. R. Wright, Klba Steel Works; E. Trubshaw, Llanelly; Basil Jayue, Pontar- dalais; E. R. Thomas, Blaenafon; W.

A question of much importance occupied the attention of the members, viz, the operation of the Railway and Canal Traffic Act, 1888. By thi. Act it is contemplated to advance the rates especially connected with liu-plate Works. Instances were mentioned of an increase of 2o per ceut. having atready been imposed. Thul will be a serious thing for the trade, and no time should be lost in adopting some means to counteract the imposition. The Monmouthshire Iron and Steel Work. have already thought it necengary to combine for mutual protection. Is it uot desirable that the great staple trades of Gill- morganshirc and Carmarthen should do likewise, as there is no question as to the increased. rates having a serioas interft-rence with the trade of this and other districts? TUKSDAY, January 15th, 1889.—There is very little variation to report in prices, which are tirm, and sellers are confident of improvement. The stocks of tin-plates held at the end of December at the following places will be as follows —Swansea, 119,343 boxes; Newport, 92,946 boxes; Liverpool, 9 ,938 boxes; Llanelly, 3 5'>0 boxes Bristol, 714 boxes. Total, December, 1888, 207*741. Against—1887, 311,648; 18S6, 293,244; 1886, 241,8:0 boxes from which it will be observed that the stocks are held equally between Swansea, .Newport, and Liverpool, which may be taken as an index that the shipments are similarly divided. The stocks reported to be held at Swansea are higher in con- sequence of the non-arrival of tonnage. IRON AND STKKI..—The Board of Trade returns for last year show a falling off in the export of steel rails and unwrought steel, and also in pig iron, but the shipments of the finished articles shew a little increase which will make up a portion of the deficencies. }lCG IBoN.-Glasgow.warrants, 41s.

. WELSH COAL CHARTERS ATTACKED.
WELSH COAL CHARTERS ATTACKED. The Liverpool Journal of Commerce leads an attack against the shippers' privileges which are secured under the prevailing form of South Wales Coal Charters, and says,thai at meetings oi shipowners' societies, and also of the Chamber of Shipping, resolutions have been submitted for doing away with the custom at Welsh coal ports of insisting that the charterer should supply coal for ship's use. There is another abuse in this respect, and that is the insertion of a clause in shipping contracts under which shipowners are bound to order any coal they may want in a foreign port from the agents of the charterers. It has been pointed out that the charges paid for bunker coal have been excessive where the masters of ships were enforced to take whatever kind of coal there might be in store. This prevents all healthful competition, and interferes with the right of a shipowner to buy in the cheapest market. There are restrictions in some charters as to the current charge at the bunkering port, or the quality of the coal but, as a rule, the description of coal is nevar mentioned. Complaints have been made of the inferior quality of coal supplied by charterers' agents at several ports. This is a great drawback to the profitable working of a steamship. When coal consumes rapidly, and leaves a large residuum of cinders and dust, with, nechaps, slate and stones, the consumption is too excessive for the payment of dividends to shareholders. Voyages are re- tarded and employment lost by this struggle on the part of charterers to make the most protit out of their contracts. A steamship owner writes to say that a vessel was loading 1,200 tons at Cardiff for Havre, at 5s. per ton freight, with 96 hours for loading and discharging. One of the uninitiated might euppoae, he lays, and not altogether unreasonably, that for carrying this cargo the owner should receive £ 300, But what is the fact? Instead of JE300 he received £::54 10s. freight on 1,200 tons of coal, being at the rate of 4s. 3d. per ton. The difference between oharterers' prices for bunker coal is said by the shipowner to be elghteenpence per ton. We have heard of this charge being less than eighteenpence and more than that figure; but the shipowner asks to be at liberty to select his own coal merchant wherever his ship goes. The reply from shippers Is to the effect that if owners refuse to buy coal of them or their agents the freight mn.t be reduced proportion- ally; The charterer, or chartering broker, expects to secure a profit-on bunkering, and the usage has become so common and embraces so many ramifications that, up to now, the ship, owners-as a body have failed to shake off this method of re- duMM the profits of a voyage by the increased cost of fnel. We hoid.with shipowners that the principle of abstracting bonuses Where J;t charter furnishes good coal at the market price there can be no particular harm doae to shareholders. Bu. even under such circumstances the system Is not correct. A shipowner ought not to be bound down to buy provtsions. stores, or fuel from the hirer of his veiael, unless by such concession he derives benefit in another direction. This modern usage demonstrates to what perfection the art of' chartering has advanced in the calculation of per- centages, Charterers will not hire vessels in certain cases unjfesa.'tbsy can have the privilege of discharging cargoes. The chartsners employ stevedores, and pay them much less per ton than is eharg«<l to tne owners. Charterers get the best of these contracts, and the majority of shipowners are so eager to obttfeitreights thatj they do not scan too closely these coaling ana stevedoring perquisites. When a north country shipowner was told that he had. accepted a charter and consented to the broker getting these denounced pickings, he said he knew all about it, and taxed the vessel with both eyes open, knowing exactly what would have to coine out of gross freight. In this light a shipowner may see his way to the earning of a net sum, after making allowance for dock and harbour dues, wharfage, trimming coal, loss on bunkering and stevedoring abroad, and address commission. If a shipowner does not take all these „ disbursements into calculation, be will feel aggrieved to find out that his expectation M to bas not been realised. We, nevertheless.Approve of the stand taken by shipowners asSnst the insinuating conditions inserted in Wrlsh coal charters. The only way tocornhat objectionable stipula- tions is to estimate the difference, and demand higher rates tor conveyance of coal charters that are not open. The ishipowner is eutitled to compensation for surrendering his freedom.

THE PARNELL COMMISSION.
THE PARNELL COMMISSION. ALLEGED CONTEMPT O* COURT. The Special Commission, consisting at Hir^James Ilannen, Mr. Justice Day, and Mr. Justice rtinUil,a>ipanitea t« taquire into the charges and allegations contahfcd ia the V>m« pab. lication, Pamellism and Crime," iwumed its Mttingg on Tuesday after the Christmas recess. re W*8 a ve^y crowded court. Their Lordships took their seats-«t tWWity ^Inimitei to eleven. 8ir V. Russell said he had an application to make, to serve a notice upon Charles H. Birbeck, proprietor and printer of the Woreetter Daily Times and Journal. An article was published on the 1st of this months which he maintained constituted a contempt of court. The learned counsel quoted from the article, which, among other charges agsinst the Irish party, stated that they were the receivers of wages for tneii who iu America provided dynamite, and that they raised defence fuada for the worst criminals. The President said these applications imposed a more dis- f-tree«»if»g burden-fchiw*-the Commission it-elf, and the judges would be glad if counsel would use their influence on one side or t|ie other to put an end to these repeated interferences with ■ the course of rhe proceedings. The judges would d«ul with this application when they had considered the others. t -*he Attorney-General sail he would now ask their Lordships to deal with the application respecting United Ireland. Mr. Keid, Q.C., said he generally appeared for Mr. ¡ O linen, but on this occasion Mr O'Brien would appear for himseifi i Mr. W. O'Brien. M.P., then, rose, aDd said. ne now appeared 1 on )ns own behalf. He raised no legal question of his responsi- bility for the article. He did not write i- himself, but he accepted the responsibility in the fullest inauuer. Iu the tir-t place, he woulu like to say that, so far as that article could in any way be held to imply auything like personal disrespect or I discourtesy, he did not think it did anything of the kind hut if it did, he would most willingly express his regret for it. He had no desire, nor had his frieuds any desire, to increase, with- out most. fearful necessity, what must be an arduous and in- vidious task, but this Commission differed from the ordinary proceedings of a court of justice. This inquiry was ordered l>y Parliament for a Parliamentary and political purpose it was not directed towards the administration of justice iu particular cases, but was intended to fur.iish the public with materials to judge of the cliara'-ter of a political organisation. His conten- tion, in point of fact, was that this Commission differed only from a Parliamentary Commission iu bein^ conducted by judges, and according to the strict rules of evidence aud the I rules of law. Under these circumstances, h» ventured to sub- mit that the restrictions upon the right of pub.ic comment, which, of course, would be perfectly appropriate in the casa of an ordinary civil proceeding, were inapplicable, and would be intolerable, if applied to an inquiry of this kind, which ranged over the whole history of their country for ten years. To foibld comment would be to suspend political life and activity, at least on their side. He directed their lordships' attention to the pamphlet "Parnellism and Crime," which was now being sold by thousands every day, and since these proceedings had begun a pamphlet of 400 pages had been issued by the publishers of the Times, entitled The Special Commission Opening Speech of the Attorney-General." The whole book was ex parte, containing atrocious charges he and his friends might never have an opportunity of refuting, and those were the persons who were coming into this court and applying for punishment against him, who was one of the accused persons as well as a public journalist. Not only was the book being published, but chromo lithographs were being distributed all over the country by their opponents. He did not desire to plead tu </uo*jue. He placed his case on higher ground. The book to which he had referred constituted an avoidance and evasion of the definite object for which this compassion was originally granted. This inquiry had originated in political squabbles, and it would end in political squabbles. They were a poor people, and were their opponents to be allowed to carry on the work of defamation, aud were they to be tongue-tiad until the thing passed away from memory into a blue book. With respect to the article in Ljuted Ireland, he maintained that they were entitled in the fullest manner to criticise the dilatory tactics of the Times, as regarded the substantial allegations, in respect of which they were being laden with enormous expense. He also main- tained they were entitled to comment on the scandalous absence of material evidence. The Times had not once touched on the oneatlegation which, it it weie proved, would render all the rest of this inquiry utterly superfluous, because there was not a man of them who did not proudly acknowledge himself bound by every act of their leader, and not a man of them would raise his head in public life again if their leader were found in open and direct correspondence and companion- ship with a band of assassins. He submittetl that the article COil pJsiued of was lIota cODtemptof court, and herepndiated the intentivn of intimidating or discouraging or abstracting wit- nesses. His interest was all the other way. He had nothing more to say except to repeat that he should be most happy to express his regret for any language in any degree offensive to the members of the court personally but., looklllg oyer the article in its entirety, in substance, and in fact, he was sorry to say be could not find anything for which he could express honest regret, and lUiytbing that it might not be a solemn public duty for him to repeat. The Attorney-General, ill reply, said that Mr. 0 Bnen had chatged perlons engaged in laying tbeir case before that. tribunal with conduct of the grossest description, and more, he had implied that that tribunal had been selected with the special object of furthering the views of tbe persons charged. The books to which Yr. O'Brien referred were simply a tran- script of what was before the commission, without comment of any sort or kind, direct or indirect. It was what every newspaper was entitled to publish in its own columns. Mr O'Brien's paper had commented upon the conduct of those appearing against him, and had added any epithets he liked in speaking of the court itself. He (the Attorney-General) asked the commissiouerssto say that this was a matter which the court could not pAs over. The effect of it in Ireland would be and must be, not merely to discredit the tribunal and to dis- credit those representing the Timet, bat to indicate that persons were being asked to give evidence for people unworthy of any respect and esteem. The President: We reserve our judgment. THE CHARGK AGAINST MB. HBODBICK. Mr. A. Lyttleton, appearing for Mr. Brodrick, who had been ordered to attend the court before the adjournment owing to an alleged contempt in a speech delivered by him, said that Mr. Brodrick was actnally on his way to the court when he heard of the adjournment, and was most anxious to appear before t)lecommissionerø. Mr. Reia replied that his clients considered that they had been insulted, and they thought that they were entitled to some protection from language of this character. He was sorry seeing that Mr. Brodrick had thought fit to make an affidavit', that he had not thought well to make a frank expression of regret at the language which had been used and the necessary inference drawn by readers as to what that language meant. Mr. Lyttleton said that if any fair-minded man could say that thelle words bore the interpretation his friend put upon them, Mr. Brodrick most fully and frankly apologised for them. The President: I think we are in a position to deal with this at once. I must say I think from the rep >rt—I daresay a meagre one—it did appear to me that a comparison was instituted betweou the several persons mentioned and an nn. known criminal. But I think, now that the full content, of the passage in Mr. Brodrick's speech have been brought to our notice, that there is no difficulty in accepting Mr. Brodrick's usurance that he had no inteutlon whateyer hI. conveying any such meaning as that ascribed. Under those circumstances, I think Mr. Reid and his clients must feel satisfied that the matter does not call for any further interference on the part of the court. STATEMENT BT Till ATTORNEV-GRNKBAL The Attorney-General, before resuming the examination of witnesses, proceeded to inform their lordships of certain methods which he proceeded to adopt in order to shorten the inquiry to some extent. Their lordships having suggested that they should as far as possible use neutral statistics, the figure relating to crime from 1877 to 1837 had been collated, and they would prove the collation to be correct. He proposed to dispense with anything like mere numerical eridence with regard to the number of crimes, and to hand copies of the collatioLl to his friends. So far &8 the mere statistics of crime were concerned, they proposed to rely entirely upon those documents to which the court more than once alluded ae being sufficient. In reply to the President, Sir Charles Russell said he did not object to this. The Attorney-General next went on to indicate the course he proposed-to pursue with regard to the remaining evidence. The most important things to be dealt with were the letters, which related to Mr. Parnell alone, and not to any other gentleman. He hoped to take that part of the case in the course of next week, but it would not be right to break off and go into a part 0 rnl 2"T related entirely to one individual. Thl?Are?lient! was P'eased to hear you say you hoped to reach the letters next week. (Laughter.) The Attomey-Genentt said of course he did not tie himself because others were responsible for the conduct of the case as well as himself. Some discussion took place on the Attorney-General's sugges- tion that time would be saved if the Time» simply put in a list of outrages alleged to have been committed by Land Leaguers and left it to the other side to say of which particular cases they required proof. Sir Charles Russell absolutely declined to adopt the Attorney General's suggestion. He old if his learned friend could prove his case he should do so. And if he could not, it must go with- out proof. The Land League was suppressed, and, naturally, became disorganised as far back as 1881, and now in 1889 they were gravely asked to tick off A, B, C, or D as members of the Land League before 1881. As it was, they had no means of so and if he had, he would not do it. The President, after consultation with his colleagues (Mid that the Attorney-General had not convinced th« mnrt that if could deal with the matter in the way YuSJS H !t rtand over until the other documents wegfk, the hands oft he' The Attorney-General said that when the docomente put in he should submit that these lists contained e™ ry iSS? mation from which legal evidence could be obtained or;, Sir Charles Russell said he should repeat his objection EVIDENCE ON THE INFLUENCE Or THE LAND LEAGUE Major Kearns Tanner (brother of Dr: Tanner, M.P.)"was called by the Attorney-Geueral. He deposed that he had certain agencies in County Tipperary in 1880. I was agent for j{r. percival and for Mr. Ogilvie. In 1880 the tenants were granted an abatement of rental to the amount of 20 per cent. During some eviction proceedings on Mr. Percival's property in June, 1881, one of the tenants showed witness some money, but said she was not allowed to pay her rent. Seventeen tenants afterwards settled with the landlord. The majority were able to pay at the time, and, with the exception of the pressure brought npon them, there was no reason why they should not have paid. In one instance an acre crop was cut down and carried away in a single night on his own property. Tenants were afraid to pay their rents, though able to do so if they had been let alone. He became agent for Colonel Puerfoy in 1882. The colonel was his own agent up to the bad times." The rents were very low, and the landlord had been on good tonne with them. On writing to witness he asked if he would be afraid to become agent. After becoming agent he met the tenants in Tipperary town. They were able to pay if not interfered with. Some [mid secretly, and some had offered to pay the money providedhe gave them no receipt. The tenants of Colonel Puerfoy were desperately boycotted. Land League conventions were "held in his district. In Clonmel in 1881, on an occasion when he was going to sell a tenant's interest in a farm, there was a procession with bands. It had been specially summoned, noticel having been put up. There was also one m Thurles on the occasion of a sale. Nothing was to be interfered with on the day, but a land League meeting was held to defeat the eads of justice. The President regretted any reference to the point raised. The next witness called gave his name as Francis Iago. (Laughter.) He lived at Killoo. (Renewed laughter,) fn answer to Mr. Atkinson, Q.C.. he said he was a member of the Illloo branch of the league, and had an oath administered to yr?ntsand landlords.

WEDNEBDAY.. The butinessof the Parnell Commission was resumed at the: Royal Courts of Justice on Wednesday, tins being the 33rd day of the enquiry. THE CASE OF ME. O'BRIEN. The Judges having taken their seats, Sir James Hannen dealing with the Attorney-General's application respecting United Ireland, said that Mr. O'Brien had addressed the court ill a perfectly becoming manner, and delivered a speech of peat ability, which had certainly favourably Impressed them, He had stated more than ojice in the course of his speech that he did not intend any obiespect to the court, and he (the President) saw no reaso. to doubt the sincerity of that state- ment. Mr. O'Brien saidthat the question* before the court were not ef x judicial chaiAcMit but of apolitical obaracter, and that therefore he was entitled to deat with them so far as they were liticat Wthe manner he had, and, further, he said that the Time* hadaontinoed to circulate the charges which constituted '•he foundittion of tte enqnlry, and that'he and those associated With Mmtttre not bound-to wait iunttt the termination of the enquiry ^before replying to the charge* of the Timet so continuously circulated throughout the country. The tribunal was constituted Iby Act of Parliament, and therefore was the creature of the law, which all were equally bound to obey, even though they might object to it, or think it harsh or unjust, and it was obvious that tbe court, at least, must deal with the matter with the feeling that, constituted as it was, it was entitled to the same respect as the ordinary courts Then Mr. (O'Brien said that the questions before the court were not judicial, but politic.1. Let him (Sir James) say most emphatically that the court had nothing to do with anv political uuestioa whatsoever. He and his colleagues entirely discaidcd the political question from their attention, and did not allow thelll in aliv way- to influence their judgment. Thev i « before them a purely judicial question—to investigate (lennite charges, which they had to inquire into—and they did "I. to influenced in any way by any political considerations whatever which might surround the parHeulxr question they had Iou determine. With regard to the last argument whicn Air. O'Brien had put- forward, that the Time* had been circulating the pamphlet Parnetiism and Crime," it appeared to him (.Sir James) that there was a great deal of force in what Mr. O'Brien had said. The Times had offered for sale. aud no doubt had largely suid the indictment as it might be called, of Mr. O'Brien and those associated with him, and he (Sir James) could not fit anv way regard it as con. tempt of court on the part of Mr. O'Brien or others to say what they had to say in answer to those charges, and if that were the character of the article complained of, the court w„uld be wholly disinclined to regard it as contempt, The question of contempt of court was i, a sufficient one to deal with, and he had great unwillingness to exer. cise the power which the court possessed, and it was only in extreme cases that he could be brought to do so It was impossible to admit that Mr. O'Brien had established that he was within his rights, if he had been the writer in making the comments which had been made in the course of the article, but he had already said he believed that Mr O'Brien's argument that the political questions connected with this enquiry were of sncli a character to discuss that the writer might unintentionally overstep the bounds between that which was permitted and that which was not permitted, the court would not tiiink it necessary to do more in any case than inflict a lenient pqjnshmeut upon Air. O'Brien, but they preferred full reasons, which appeared to them to have weight, to remit anv punishment in this ease, having laid down rules which thev thought ought to govern public writers, and which they trusted punishment in this case, having laid down rules which they thought ought to govern public writers, and which they trusted that Mr. O Brien and others would accept as their guide and conduct in the future. If after that explanation Mr. O'Brien or anyone else should give cause for the court to deal with this subject again it would be impossible for them to treat the matter in the way it was proposed to do so in the present in- stance. Therefore he gladly, with the concurrence of his brethren, came to a conclusion which he hoped would save them froOl having their time consumed with matters of this kind in future, and he hoped that, as far as possible, angry feetings would be excluded from the proceedings of the court. At the coiiclusioia of this judgment, Mr. O'Brien bowed to their lordships. The iucident then terminated, and the evidence was proceeded with. THE Ionian OBGANISATION. Patrick Delaney, examined by the Attorney-General, said he came from Maryborough Prison. lie joined the Fenian orgamsation in 1875, and took the oath of loyalty to the body.

He was about 5 feet 6 inches in height, always wore large spectacles, and went about in differ- eut disguises, i never saw him in the same disguise twice.

Forster, Frank Byrne's wife brought the rifles. revolvers, Md«. ltniws about- the- flitter- end of 1881. I commenced to watch Mr. Forster in 1882 by order of my brother and Mullett. 1 watched on Eliss Quay, and was instructed to shoot any persons going across the bridge with Mr. Forster. Brady and Kelly were to shoot Mr. Forster on the bridge. I did not see Mr. Forster on that occasion. I received orders from Carey, Brady, and Curley to be at Kings- bridge at 9 o'clock one morning to assassinate somebody. All of the Invincible party were at the rendezvous, but the person expected did not come. THE PH(ENIX PARK MURDFRS. I did not know anything about the Phcenix Park murders until after they had taken place. After the murder the knives were handed to me and I took them to my place. I kept them for six weeks, and then gave them to Brady after Carey's arrest. They were the same as Mrs. Byrne brought over. I law Brady break up the knives and burn the handles of them according to instructions he had received. In the summer of 18.;2 I saw I1 rank Byrne at my brother's house at a meeting of the council of the Invincibles. Amongst those present at the meeting was No. 1. At one of the meetings the discussion was as to who should be assassinated. It was suggested that some of the police officials should be selected, but Byrne said he would sooner go in for Lord Spencer. When Judge Lawson was nnder police protection I was told off with others to assassinate him. When he came up with me I plucked the arm of-one of the four men who were guarding him. I was tllovcd to go across the road, and Was then knrvkpil rinwn I plucked tne man's arm to save Judge Lawson because if he had gone ten yards further he would hare been a^shiated I was arrested, but although I had a pistol I did nTdraw it At the latter end of 1887 Carey tried to rent a house at Cork-hili for the purpose of assassinating Earl Cowper, but he could not rent the house. The court adjourned for luncheon. After luncheon, witness's examination was continued: Paris letters from Egan referring to Carey's candidature were now put in. One of the letters referred to the A fund, but 1 witness said he had net heard of the A fund. He heard of 'i such a name as O'Leary, but never saw him. Sir C. Russell said there would be no question an to the genuineness of the letters of Egan, dated 8th November, 27th .November, and 20th December, 18.S1. All the others were, ac- cording to his instructions, forgeries. Witness, cross-examined by Sir Charles Russell, said he was sentenced to be hanged for participation in the Phoenix Park murders, but the capital sentence was commuted by Earl Spencer to penal servitude for life. He was undergoing penal servitude for the attack on Judge lawson when he gave information to the police respecting. the Phoenix Park murders, but that was not until after he had been told that he was suspected of having turned it. former.. During theDuke of Marlborough's lord-lieutenancy the Feniau Brotherhood attempted to break up a meeting in the Rotunda at which Mr. Parnell aud other members of Parliament were present. They attempted to break it up until orders came from Daritt, iwn. and Brennan. Witness himself got no orders, but the" centres" afterwards settled not to oppose the Land Leape, but to give it all the assistance possible. Sir Charles Russell having concluded his cross-examination of the witness, the court rose.
