The Yorkshire Evening Post - Monday, April 8, 1895
The Press Association has authority for stating with reference to Mr. Oscar Wilde's defence that Sir Edward Clarke wrote early on Saturday to Mr. Humphreys saying that, having regard to the events of Friday, he thought it right to say that if Mr. Oscar Wilde desired that he should defend him on his trial he would do so, and that for services so offered he, of course, would not accept any fee. Mr. Humphreys has replied stating that Mr. Oscar Wilde gratefully accepts the offer.
A rumour was prevalent at the Law Courts this morning that Wilde's advisers intended to make an application to a judge in Chambers to grant bail. No notice has yet been given of their intention to take this course, nor is it likely that it will be followed. In the case of Oscar it is not yet certain whether the charge ultimately preferred against him is to be one of misdemeanor or felony, and, until the close of the magisterial proceedings, it is certain that no such application as rumoured will be granted, nor is it likely to be made.

Messrs. Ward. Perks, & M'Kay (86, Gracechurch Street), solicitors, write as follows with regard to the "Chameleon"—"On behalf of Messrs. Gay & Bird, the publishers of the first and only number of this publication, we ask you to be good enough to allow us to say through your columns that our clients of their own act stopped the sale directly they were aware of the contents of the magazine. Such sale was not stopped at the request of a contributor or anyone else. They were requested to renew the sale, and refused. Had the trial proceeded, we should, at the proper tims, have tendered our clients to give the above facts in evidence."
