NOTE.--In 1887 The Times published articles entitled Parnellism and Crime, and on 18 April gave a facsimile of a letter said to be by C. S. Parnell in which he extenuated the Phœnix park murders. On 22 Oct. 1888 three judges, forming a special commission, commenced inquiring into all the charges which had been made against Parnell.
