THE Marquis of Queensberry wants the Treasury to reimburse him the £2,000 that he expended in defence of the libel suit which led to the prosecution of Wilde.
He is not likely to get it.
The Daily Telegraph - Friday, June 21, 1895
While Oscar Wilde's case has absorbed public attention for weeks, the records of the London Police Court show (according to Ballard Smith, the correspondent in this case) that persons accused of the offence of which he is convicted come frequently before the magistrates. On the very day Wilde was convicted John Goodchild, 28 years old, and said to have a fine education, was sentenced to two years' hard labor for this identical crime. The Judge remarked that no country can remain great while such persons are allowed to live free in it. He believed, indeed, that they should not be allowed to live at all.
The Marquis of Queensbury declares that if the Treasury does not reimburse him for the £2000 that he expended in the defence of the libel suit which led to the prosecution of Wilde he will ask some member to bring the question before Parliament.
