The charges presented by the Times to the Parneli Commission allege that various organisations in Ireland, including the Land League and the National Federation League, had been brought into existence with the object of establishing Irish independence. The members of these bodies had conspired to promote agrarian agitation, and induced tenants to withhold thepayraentof rents. They were also guilty of intimidating • '. i people by.; means of ; boycotting, which had resulted in numerous outrages being committed. The funds which had been > collected by Leagues were disbursed in inducing persons to commit crime, :to : hinder the detection of criminals, arid in defending prisoners when upon their trial. Parneli is accused, while .pretending to' condemn crime, of writing letters to Byrne, Egan, and Ford, approving of outrages in connection with; which they were believed to. be associated.
