Mr Robert Harborough Sherard, author and journalist, was able, by special permission of the Home Secretary, to visit Oscar Wilde on Monday at Wandsworth Jail. The Press Association learns from Mr Sherard that the visit lasted twenty minutes, and that a warder was present. The convict appeared well and in fair spirits, and Mr Shererd adds—"I was much struck with his courage and resignation, though his punishment weighs terribly upon him. I was his only visitor, though I trust to make up the party of four allowed by the visiting ticket. Wilde is now allowed one book per week."
