The Yorkshire Evening Post - Tuesday, June 4, 1895
According to a news agency the mental condition of Oscar Wilde, who is at present in Pentonville Prison, is causing much anxiety to the officials. The symptoms first manifested themselves when he received the attentions of the prison barber and clothier, and it is said that he has since become insane.
The last account of the prisoner was that he was confined in a padded room.
The Exchange Telegraph Company states that the first opportunity will be taken by Sir E. Clarke upon his return from the country to bring forward a motion in the High Court dealing with the points of law to be argued on the demurrer reserved by Mr. Justice Collins at the first trial of Oscar Wilde. The motion will probably take the form of a demand that the criminal proceedings against Wilde were legally irregular, particularly in respect to the indictment of conspiracy being joined to charges under the Criminal Law Amendment Act.
