Sir Charles Russell apologised to Sir James Hannen for his oversight in not having the documents in readiness necessary to enable the cross-examination of Mr Parnell to go on. Archbishop Walsh’s examination was continued. He gave it as his experience that the League had diminished crime in Ireland. The secret societies which had been started after Mr Parnell’s arrest were now virtually extinct in the rural districts. He said that he abominated the articles in the Irishman, and disapproved of many of those in United Ireland. He admitted that he had never denounced boycotting, but considered intimidating by force moat reprehensible. He disapproved of Mr Parnell’s advice to the people to shun men who took farms from which tenants had been evicted. He also objected to publishing a black list of persons who refused to join the League.
