The Daily Telegraph - Saturday, April 6, 1895

The hearing of the charge of criminal libel brought by Oscar Wilde against the Marquis of Queensberry has been concluded at the Old Bailey, London.

In the Queensberry libel case it transpired that in a letter to his son, Lord Alfred Douglas, the marquis, said that if the worst were true, the latter would be justified in shooting Oscar Wilde.

The jury acquitted the Marquis of Queensberry of criminal libel, considering his remarks regarding Oscar Wilde to be justified.
