London, Friday.Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor again appeared at Bow street this morning. Mr Gill conducted the case for the Treasury. Wilde was defended by Mr Travers Humphreys, barrister, and Mr Arthur Newton appeared for Taylor. Mr Grain, barrister, held a brief for Sydney Mayor, a witness. Wilde is evidently suffering from his incarceration and looked ill on taking his place in the dock.

Charles Parker and William Parker gave further evidence.

Frederick Curley, a superannuated detective inspector, was also examined.

Two bank clerks and the bookkeeper at the Savoy Hotel gave formal testimony as to the banking accounts of Wilde and Taylor, and hotel bills.

Mr Gill intimated that the case for the prosecution was now closed, and handed to Sir John a document containing a long list of charges upon which he asked that both prisoners should be committed.

The specific allegations having been read over Wilde was cautioned by the magistrate, and asked whether he had anything to say. He replied, "Not at present, your worship."

Mr Newton, on behalf of Taylor, said he did not wish to state anything on the charge of misdemeanour, but in regard to another part of the allegation against him on the charge rested absolutely upon the evidence of two persons who were in the highest sense of the word discredited.

Sir John replied the evidence was sufficiently corroborated to justify a committal.

Mr Travers Humphreys then applied for bail on behalf of Wilde, and pointed out that his client was not charged with felony but with misdemeanour.

Mr Newton applied for bail for Taylor.

Sir John, having regard to the gravity of the charges, refused to accede to either application, and formally committed the prisoners for trial at the Central Criminal Court.

Wilde’s Plays.

Oscar Wilde’s play, "The Importance of Being Earnest," will shortly be withdrawn from the boards of the St James’s Theatre. His other piece, "An Ideal Husband," is having a prosperous run at the Criterion.

London, Friday.

Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor were again placed in the dock at Bow street today before Sir John Bridge on a charge of indecency. There was again a crowded attendance of the public, the Extradition Court being inconveniently filled when the magistrate took his seat.

After the hearing of further evidence, Sir John Bridge, addressing Wilde, asked him whether he wished to say anything.

Wilde — Not at present, your worship.

Mr Travers Humphreys then applied for bail on behalf of Wilde, who, he said, was prepared to find substantial sureties. There was no charge of felony in Wilde’s case — merely of misdemeanor.

Sir John said it was a matter within his discretion.

Mr Newton also applied for bail on behalf of Taylor.

Sir John Said that in the exercise of his discretion he had to consider the gravity of the offence and the strength of the evidence. With regard to the offence there was none to his mind so grave. As to the evidence adduced he would not say more than that he did not take it as slight, therefore he must refused to accede to the application for bail.

Prisoners were then formally committed to take their trial at the Central Criminal Court, and were conducted back to the cells.

Important conferences were held at Whitehall today by the authorities regarding the disclosures made in the Wilde case. Some of the witnesses have been under close examination, but no further arrests have been made.
