PAKNELL COMMISSION.

{Special Report.)

[Yesterday the Commission of Judges resumed their sittings in the Parnell
Case. The Judges were Sir James Hannen, Mr. Justice Day, and Mr. Justice
Smith. For the Times there appeared the Attorney-General, Sir Henry
James, Mr. W. Murthy, Mr. W. Graham, of the English Bar, and Mr.
J. Atkinson and Mr. Eonan of the Irish Bar. For Mr. Parnell and
other Members Sir Charles Russell appeared, and with him Mr. Asquith,
Mr. Eeid, Mr. Lockwood, Mr. Lionel Hart, Mr. Arthur Eussell, of
the English Bar, Mr. Arthur O'Connor and Mr. Harrington of the Irish
Bar. Toby, M.P., Q.C., instructed by Mr. George Lewis (of Ely Place,
Holborn,"W.C), again held a watching brief for the Public.—Morning Taper.']

Monday, October 22.—Cut this out of morning paper. Plenty

more where it came from. If the Editor liked to have it all, and
leave out pictures, would make quite interesting series of numbers.
Suppose there would be objections on part of artists. Some people
are so narrow-minded. So have boiled down account of proceedings.
Observed considerable addition to strength of Bar. On opening day
only Chakles Russell and AsauiTH on one side, Gbaiiam on the
other. Now two benches full of wig and gown. Room for us of the
Inner Bar, but terrible crush behind.

" All on account of you," Geoege Lewis whispers. "Very well
to begin with. But when they saw you were engaged, found it
necessary to muster in larger force."

Pleasant to have one's position so early and strikingly recognised.
Must keep up dignity. Shall begin with Usher. If he interrupts
again, shall have him mandamus'd.
