Messrs William O'Brien, M.P., and E. Harrington, M.P., who were released from their imprisonment in order to attend before the TimesParnell Commission, arrived in Court this morning. Mr O'Brien was dressed in prison clothes, having refused to put on his ordinary dress. The cross-examination of Mr Parnell was continued. Witness explained that in the year 1881 a speech delivered by him, quoted by the Attorney-General, referred to Eibbon organisations. He said he had never heard that the League had paid a hundred guineas towards the defence of Moonlighters at Cork in 1881, but upon the Attorney - General reminding him that the subject was discussed in Parliament in 1882, Mr Parnell said he had heard that the defence was paid for by the League's cheque in the case of Connell, who shot Leary, and admitted personally paying for the defence of some men charged with the committal of serious crimes.
