Humphreys & Sons, his solicitors, state that their client will surrender at the Old Bailey on Monday prior to the trial, fixed for eleven o’clock. So far as can be ascertained Wilde and Taylor will be arraigned together. The case will, it is expected, be disposed of in three, if not a couple of days.

Sir F. Lockwood, Q.C., M.P.; Mr. H. Sutton, Mr. Gill, and Mr. Horace Avory will prosecute; Sir Edward Clarke, Mr. Charles Mathews, and Mr. Travers Humphreys will defend Wilde; and Mr. Grain will defend Taylor.

The Exchange Telegraph Company says:—Few of the original charges will be preferred, and it is further confidently reported that several of the witnesses for the prosecution have eluded the observation of the detectives engaged to look after them, and are now missing.
