THE " TIMEa " 00MMIB8I0N. of Purneir* KxainlniOioH â€" Arvh- bUbop W»Uh oil the buuid. A last (WtJaeudky) ni);bl'a London cable Myb : Mr. ParneU's ezaicination waa finiihed before the CommiaBton today. He testified that the Booeption Committee in America comprised the leading merchants of New York, reprebentative citizens and ministers of religion. In his speeches in New York, witness declared that not a farthing oontribnted to the Irish cease woald (jo towards or^aniziDg rebellion in Ireland. Tbroaghoat bistoarot the United States he ht<l never even swerved a band's breadth from that declaration. Attorney General Webster, the witness ssiii, bad qaoted from tive oat of sixty speeches he had made in the United Kiatee, ijjnorin^ the general tenor of his speucbeH, so as to misrepresent bis words. All the uameBthe Attorney-General had mentioned of per- sons associated with the meetings were only a small fraction of those who attended. Men of prominent positions and nndoabted respectability attended these meetings. In no sense coald the American reception be identified with the proceedings of the I'bvsi- oal Force Party. Witness firmly believed that none of Ins collesKues. hinoe joining the Irish Parliamentary party, bad bad anything to do with the Fenians. Only oasaally ilid the Fenians oome within the orbit of the constitutional movement. Here Mr. Parnell scored by remarking that the Tories were more certainly associated with the movemt-nt ; far instance, when they cooperated with the Parnellites to obatract the Criminal Code Uill to the death. IWerring to some letters of his, Mr. Parnell said be had oopits made from bis Moretary'B shorthand notiB. Attorney-Oeneral Websterâ€" It seems that there exists a book of Mr. Parnell's letters.

Mr. Parnell â€" Vonr Lordships are wel- come to see any letter I ever wrote or re- ceived. Attorney-General Webster, recurring to Mr. Parnell's private bank account, wanted to trace a uamber of che<jue8. A warm iliscuB^ion ensued, Bir Charles IlnShL-ll declaring that such action woald be aufair. Justice llanncn suggested a postponment of the matter antil fuller tlocunients were before the court. Archbishop Walsh tCKtified that he came tothe concluHiou before IVTJ that there was need of a defensive land organization, and was proceeding to give his opinion on the subject. Justice iiannen said the imjuiry must be limited to whether or not the Land League waa necessary. Attorney General Webster submitted that matters of opinion were not admis- •ible. Mr. Biifgar urged that opinion evidence bad been given over and over again by *' hirelinijB " of the Ciovernment. Justice Uannen warned Mr. Biggar not to use such expressions. Mr. IliiigarHaid that aoless inch evidence was aitiiutted the whole inquiry woald end in a faruu. 7'he judges retired to consider the matter privately. ( )n their return Justice llannen stauouiioed tb<'y had decided that it waa not permiisible tu ask any witness, however diHtingaished, abstract (jueations of opinion. The facts known to the witness ought to be laid Ix-foro the court before opinions bastil thereon were mentioned. The Archbishop, continuing, said that in the course of liis visits through his diocese he had abundant means of knowing that the League denounced outrages. Many |.riests had joined the I^eague with his approval. lie saw nothing in the action of the Les^iio to forbid the clergy joining. A TltlO or HDICIUEN.

I'ox took place at her boms, No. 30 Erie atreet, this afternoon To morrow the remains will be buried in Oawego. Mrs. I'ox died the day before yesterday. The responsibility for the fatal termination of her illness is laid by public opinion at the door of what in called Coristian science. Mrs. Fox had been aobject to bilious attaoka for several years. When the first one came on Dr. Jay W. Sheldon waa oalled. When the patient had began to recover she was left to the obargo of I>r. K. H. Flint. Mrs. Fox was to some extent a believer in Christian science at that time, and her husband was, tLS he is yet, " very firm in the faith," to ijuote an expression used today by one of the friends of the family. Daring a recur recce of her illness some weeks ago Mrs. Fox relied entirely upon Christian science, .Mrs. E. P. Bates attending her, and she got better. Hhe was told then that having once been cured by Christian science she would be free from the malady thereafter, and she entirely believed it. fAITU CCIIE IiIlJ NOT llELl' IIEB. Last Saturday the disease came on again with unusual severity. Mrs. Bates was out of town, and another apostle of Christian science, Mrs. Morris, was called. Mrs. i'ox's daughters urged that a physician be called, but their entreaties went for nothing. Mr. Fox bad unbounded confidence in Christian science of a curative power and felt sure hie wife would again recover. The patient, it is said, suffered terribly, andfre- i|aectly called out in her a^ony, " I must have help 1 I must have help! " Khe was told that all she needed was courage, and she would be sure to triumph over the malady. Mrs. 1 ox took scarcely any nouriahment daring the attack. Dr. Flint was sammoned at the last moment.

I was called to make out the death certificate, 1 suppose. I assigned as the cause of death intlammation of the liver." Dr. Flint expressed the opinion that if Mrs. Fox had been allowed her own way she would have haii the services of a physi- cian.
