The Evening News - Monday, June 17, 1895
The Press Association states that an effort has been made on technical grounds to ensure the release of Oscar Wilde from prison. [...] the last few days an application was made to the Attorney-General for his flat to issue for writ of error in respect of a point of law, raised by Sir E. Clarke, as to the framing of the indictment, in which it will be remembered there were two sets of counts. The application has been refused by the Attorney-General after due consideration. Sir R. Reid has not communicated to the prisoner’s solicitors the grounds upon which he based the refusal.

The Press Association states that an effort has been made on technical grounds to scure the release of Oscar Wilde from prison. Within the last few days an application was made to Sir R. Reid, Attorney-General, for his fiat to issue for writ of error in respect of a point of law raised by Sir E. Clarke as to the framing of the indictment, in which, it will be remembered, there were two sets of counts. The application has been refused by the Attorney-General, after due consideration, but Sir R. Reid has not communicated to the prisoner's solicitors the grounds upon which he based the refusal.
