The Winnipeg Daily Tribune - Friday, April 19, 1895
London, April 19 — At Bow street police court today Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor were charged with serious misdemeanors. They were brought up on remand and finally committed trial, bail being refused in each case. It was noon before the prisoners were brought into the dock. Wilde was much more pale and distressed than he has seemed since he first appeared in court. It was necessary to allow him a seat in the dock. He rested there in a limp fashion, paying no attention to the proceedings.

London, April 19. -- At the Bow Street Police Court today Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor, charged with serious misdemeanors, were brought up on remand and were formally committed for trial, bail being refused in each case. It was noon before the prisoners were brought into the dock. Wilde was much more pallid and distressed than he has seemed since he first appeared in court. It was necessary to allow him a seat in the dock and he rested there in a limp fashion, paying no attention to the proceedings.
After the evidence in the case had been presented the charges against Wilde were read and he was asked by the magistrate if he wished to say anything in reply. Wilde answered: "Not at present."
Alfred Taylor was then charged with attempting to perpetrate crime and both prisoners were committed for trial. Counsel on behalf of Wilde made an application for bail, but the presiding magistrate replied that in his opinion the offense was so grave and he considered the evidence so strong that bail could not be allowed.
