The Grand Jury this morning returned to the Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey, a true bill against Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor.

The Exchange Telegraph Company says that Wilde will probably plead guilty of an offence. The Sun says it is thought that Wilde’s counsel will apply for an adjournment for a month, and ask that Wilde be admitted to bail in the meantime.
