Sydney Evening News - Friday, May 24, 1895
London, May 23.-- The trial of Oscar Wilde was continued at the Central Criminal Court to-day.
Sir Edward Clarke, Q.C., M.P., who appeared for the defence, asked Mr. Justice Wills not to send the case arising out of the incident at the Savoy Hotel to the jurv.
Mr. Justice Wills said a sense of duty prevented him from withdrawing it. He, however, dismissed the count charging indecency between Wilde and Shelley on the ground that tho evidence lacked support, and that Shelley suffered from delusions. The evidence showed nothing but an unnatural friendship, and it had not been proved that it was otherwise than perfectly honorable.
The case referring to Shelley was afterwards withdrawn.
The case had not concluded when the court rose.
