| Summary: | In 1887 'The Times' newspaper published letters which suggested that Charles Stewart Parnell was complicit in the 1882 murders of Chief Secretary for Ireland, Lord Frederick Cavendish and the Permanent Under-Secretary, Thomas Henry Burke. A Commission of Enquiry, (which Charles Stewart Parnell had requested) revealed in February 1889 after 128 sessions that letters were a fabrication created by an Irish journalist Richard Pigott (who admitted his forgeries to Henry Labouchère, fled to Spain, and shot himself in a hotel room in Madrid on 1 March 1889). The 35-volume commission report published in February 1890 did not however clear Parnell's movement of criminal involvement - as a result Parnell sued 'The Times' for libel and the newspaper paid him £5,000 in damages in an out-of-court settlement. When Parnell next entered the Houses of Parliament on 1 March 1890 after he was cleared, he received a hero's reception from his fellow M.P.s led by William Ewart Gladstone. |
