The Nassau Guardian - Saturday, May 4, 1895

LONDON, April 19. — Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor were committed for trial after hearing to-day in the Bow Street Police Court.

Counsel for Wilde made application for bail, but the presiding magistrate replied that the offense was so grave and the evidence so serious bail could not be allowed.

Wilde was much paler and far at ease than heretofore. He was allowed a seat in the dock and rested there in limp fashion paying little or no attention to the proceedings.

After the testimony was in the charges against Wilde were read and he was asked by the magistrate if he wished to say anything.

"Not at present," Wilde answered.

The Boston Globe - Friday, April 12, 1895

LONDON, April 11 - Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor were arraigned for examination in the Bow st police court this morning.

It is reported that Wilde has been ill since his confinement in jail.

The chief librarian of the British museum authorizes the United Press to deny the statement circulated yesterday that the books and publications written by Oscar Wilde had been withdrawn from public use in the library of that institution. An act of parliament compels the museum to keep in its possession, and accessible to the public, copies of all publications copyrighted in the united kingdom, except such as it may be personally libelous.

The hearing was adjourned for a week and Wilde and Taylor were remanded without bail.
