Mr. Parnell charged the London press with entering into a conspiracy against the good name of Ireland. He defended the actions of the Land League, which he de- clared always reprobated outrages. Pur- nell concluded by moving an amendment to the address declaring that peace in reload cannot be promoted by suspending the con- stitutional rights of the people. Mr. Forster said that Mr. Parnell must have known that the result of his speeches would be the committal of out -rages. O'Donnell and O'Connor rose to a ques- tion of order.
