THE IRISH QUESTION.
CHALLENGE BY DAVITT. DEATH OF A RECENTLY IMPRISONED HOME RULER. London, July 6. Mr Davitt, speaking at Glasgow, challenged his opponents to prosecute him and Mr Parnell on charges of murder and conspiracy, as the only course to properly sift the charges levelled against them. He admitted that the subordinate members of the League had committed grave crimes, but denied that Mr Parnell or his followers were guilty. He regretted the crimes which had been committed and said they were the work of a desperate Mt of men. Mr Mandeville, formerly secretary to Mr O’Brien, and who was recently confined in Tullamore gaol, has died, and it is alleged by his friends that his death was accelerated by the ill-treat-ment he received in custody.
