As to Mr. Redmond's action against the Times, we know

nothing of its scope. But so far as regards his special com- plaint that the Times suppressed his letter explaining that when in May, 1882, he omitted all denunciation of the murder of Mr. Burke, in addressing the Manchester meeting of Sunday, May 7th, he was ignorant of Mr. Burke's death, Mr. H. Glass, of Manchester, writes to last Saturday's Times as follows :— " I think Mr. Redmond's memory must fail him. I attended that meeting in the Free-Trade Hall. On my way to the hall, I called at the telegraph office and inquired whether it was true that Lord F. Cavendish and Mr. Burke had been murdered the evening before in Dublin. Yes, Sir,' said the clerk ; and he added, Mr. Redmond, M.P., has just been here to ask the same question.'
