The Pall Mall Gazette - Thursday, August 22, 1895
Under the receiving order made against Oscar Wilde to-day, accounts have been issued showing unsecured liabilities £3,591, and no available assets. The debtor attributes his insolvency to failure of his legal proceedings against the petitioning creditor, Lord Queensberry, and to his arrest and conviction in the recent trial. He states his income has been about two thousand yearly, chiefly derived from literary work and royalties on plays. From the figures furnished in the deficiency account it appears that the debtor has been insolvent for at least two years, and that his expenditure has been considerably in excess of his income. Of the unsecured indebtedness expected to rank, sums amounting to £2,514 appear to be for money lent, £677 3s. 8d. for law costs, and £233 19s. 11d. for tobacco, wine, jewellery, flowers,&. The household furniture and effects of the debtor appear to have been sold by the sheriff during April last.
