FIFTY YEARS AGO
PARNELL AND THE TIMES Widespread comment was aroused 50 years ago by tho allegations of the Times against Parnell and his supporters. The following is an extract from the New Zealand Herald of October 19, 1888: "The charges presented by the Times to the Parnell 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 the agrarian agitation, and induced tenants to withhold payment of rents. They were also guilty of intimidating people by means of boycotting, which had resulted in numerous outrages being committed."
