Oscar Wilde, concerning whom the jury by which he was tried on a charge of misdemeanor, involving alleged abominable conduct, failed to agree, has been liberated on bail.

The Court insisted upon his own recognisance of £2500 and two approved sureties of £1250 each.

The bondsmen are Lord Douglas (probably the Earl of Home) and the Rev. S.D. Headlam, a well-known divine, and a prolific writer on religious subjects.
