Dublin Daily Express - Thursday, April 25, 1895
London, Wednesday.At the Central Criminal Court this afternoon Mr Charles Mathews, who has been retained with Sir Edward Clarke to defend Mr Oscar Wilde, asked for a postponement of the trial until next sessions, in order to allow time to prepare the case for the defence, and also on the ground that the accused would not secure a fair trial in the present state of public feeling. Mr Grain, who represented Alfred Taylor, said his client was anxious that the trial should be taken as early as possible Mr Gill, for the prosecution, strongly opposed Mr Mathew’s application, and said the case was shortened at Bow-street at the request of Wilde’s representative, with a view to the trial being taken early. Justice Charles refused the application, saying the case must remain in the list for Friday or Saturday.
