Ireland – extra number of the Graphic dated March 11th 1889 recording the Special Commission into the allegations of crimes by Irish parliamentarian Charles Steward Parnell. The Times had alleged that Parnell and other Irish Home Rule politicians were implicated in the murders of Lord Frederick Cavendish, Chief Secretary of Ireland and the Permanent Under Secretary for Ireland T H Burke. The hearings lasted for several months and eventually vindicated Parnell of all charges. Many illustrations throughout showing the principle people involved, witnesses, counsel etc.
