The South Australian Register - Thursday, April 4, 1895
The trial of the Marquis of Queensberry on a charge of libelling Mr. Oscar Wilde, the well-known dramatist and litterateur, was commenced this morning. The proceedings excited great popular interest, and not only was the Court filled to overflowing, but immense crowds thronged the passages, for whom accommodation could not be found.
After the case had been opened by the formal proof of the alleged libel, evidence was called on behalf of the defendant. It was represented that Mr. Oscar Wilde had levied heavy blackmail for his gushing letters to Lord Alfred Douglas, son of the Marquis. Some of these letters had been found in old clothes which had been given away.
The defence relies upon the revelations of these letters, which it is alleged warranted the writing by the Marquis of the letter upon which the charge against him is based.
