THE COMMISSION BILL.
SPEECHES IN THE COMMONS. [press association.]
; London, July 25. At Mr. Parnell's request, Messrs. Labouchere and McKenna withdrew their amendments to the Parnell Commission Bill.
During the debate on the second reading, Sir Wm. Vernon Harcourt violently attacked Sir Richard E. Webster, the Attorney-General. He told him that he should prosecute Mr. Parnell if he believed the charges that had been levelled against him. The Gladstone Government, he declared, had not been able to discover any Parnellite complicity in crime. : ' London, July 26. During the discussion on the Parnell Commission Bill, Mr. Chamberlain said the apparent reluctance to face a full inquiry had shaken his opinion of , Mr. Parnell's integrity. Though he believed in his innocence, he urged that the inquiry should be most complete, in order to remove any shadow of doubt of Mr. Parnell or any of his party being connected with outrages.
