The Corporation of the capital, headed by the Lord Mayor, followed the hearse, the representative bodies were numerous, and the cortege contained at least six thousand persons. The athletic society called the " Gaels " was conspicuous, acting as a sort of bodyguard to secure order. It is said that some wreaths on the hearse bore the inscriptions " Murdered !" and " Revenge !" There were no McCarthyite Members present, however, and conse- quently no demonstrations such as had been threatened if they ventured to attend. The service was, of course, Pro- testant, and we see that Mr. T. P. O'Connor believes, on the faith of a statement made to him by Mr. Parnell, that after an interval of disbelief, he reverted to "the faith he was born in." It is impossible to question any man's statement about his creed, and the conduct even of the majority is usually, at variance with it, so Mr. Parnell's account may have been sincere.
