TIMES-PARNELL COMMISSION.
MB DILLON IN MELBOURNE. London, May 20. The Parnell Commission continues, but the evidence is as dull ai a third-class sermon. The main witnesses are priests, the bearing of whose evidence is to exculpate the Land League from any connection with outrages, which they denounced, although some admitted they had not endeavored to suppress boycotting.
At Sandhurst Mr J. Dillon, the Irish Nationalist envoy, addressed himself at length in reply to the Argus. Ha denied the accuracy of the Argus cable messages, accepted the challenge of that journal to await the arrival of the mail to test the question, and coupled The Times and the Argus as having reached the pinnacle of mendacity. He characterised the telegram as false, malignant, and lying, and said that he would not believe that htu leader (Mr Parnell) had sworn to telling a lie in the House ot Commons.
