This is very strong evidence,, against the accused and how they are to refute it is difficult to say.: Unless Sir Hector Langevin can show that he'did not receive the inoney which Mr. Murphy says was paid bin, and that he had no share in theboodling which it is 'alleged, the McGreevys were so deeply involved in, he will go out of office with a very bad record . and cannot very Nvell maintain himself inapublic life: He has so far made no answer of any kind to the charges, and vv hat be has to say is awaited with interest.
