The Advertiser - Friday, April 5, 1895
During the hearing to-day of the action for criminal libel brought by Mr. Oscar Wilde against the Marquis of Queensberry, the complainant admitted in his evidence that he was the writer of several effusive letters addressed to Lord Alfred Douglas. In one of them Mr. Wilde used the phrase, "You are the divine thing I want," and in cross-examination he explained that this was the natural expression by an artist of admiration for a beautiful personality.
Mr. Wilde further stated that on one occasion the Marquis of Queensberry visited his residence and threatened him with personal violence unless he ceased his relations with Lord Alfred Douglas. He responded by calling the marquis "the most infamous brute in London."
