THE PARNELL1TE EXPLANATIONS.The following letter also appears in to-day s TinieiSir,—Tb© statements made by Mr Parnell and Mr Jnst;n M’Csrtby abautthat £IC0 cheque confirm suspicions I bad during the 1882-83 period. These statements, if true, can be proved by the production of these gentlemen’s back bocks. But are they true ?Mr M’Cartby saya with truth that the “National League and Land League of Great Britiu ” had no bank account. But he forgets that it had a treasurer (Mr Thomas Quinn.

His memory also deceives him as to the modo in which the cash was dealt with. Frank Bvrne used to en'ier on one side c f his cash book the Amounts received from branc! es and other outside sources, and these entries were initialled by Mr Thomas Quinn in acknowledgment of their receipt by him as treasurer. And on the other side of the account were entered the amounts paid by the treasurer to the secretary for salaries and current expenses were initialled by Byrne.Mr M Carthy a statement is that Byrne called upon lim on the of January, 1883, told him he was starting for Cannes, and obtained from him the cheque for £1C0 in exchange for various drafti and orders.

Here are his words:—“I wa% as you have no doubt been informed by Mr M’Sweeney, obliged to leave suddenly by the positive orders of the doctor, and could not in consequence communicate with yon previous to my departure. Mr M.’Sweeney will also have informed you that I received the promised cheque —£100—from Mr Parnell on the day 1 left London.”The two versions are wholiyjinconaiatent. According
