London, Saturday. The doors of Bow Street Police Court were besieged at a comparatively early hour this morning, it being known that Mr Oscar Wilde, who had been arrested on the previous evening, would be placed in the dock. That part of the building, in which extradition cases are usually taken, was speedily thronged to its utmost capacity, and the appearance of the prisoner was eagerly awaited. Sir John Bridge took his seat a few minutes after eleven o'clock, and Mr Wilde was simultaneously brought up from the cells. He was attired in a heavy overcoat which he wore at the Old Bailey. He entered the dock with an easy air, and having deposited his silk hat upon the seat, bowed slightly to the magistrate, and then leant forward upon the rail and listened attentively to Mr Gill's opening.

The Press Association telegraphs—The man Taylor, who is alleged to have procured for Oscar Wilde, was arrested this morning and taken to Bow street.

During the hearing of the evidence Taylor was brought in and placed in the dock beside Wilde.

After the examination of Sydney Arthur Manor, who had occasionally visited Taylor and once was Wilde's guest at the Albemarle Hotel, M Antoa Migge, masseur, and Margaret Cottier, chambermaid at the Savoy Hotel, were the doting witnesses for to-day.

On Mr Gill's application, Sir J Bridge remanded the prisoners until Thursday next.

His Worship declined to accede to an application for bail.

When Mr Oscar Wilde arrived at Holloway Gaol on Saturday, after the proceedings at Bow street, he was conveyed to one of the better class cells, the occupation of which is provided for by prison regulations on payment of about a shilling a day. It has been arranged that one of the prisoners at present at Holloway, shall perform the menial duties which every prisoner is bound himself to perform unless prepared to pay for a substitute. His meals will be supplied by a local caterer, and he would be allowed to receive a daily visit from a friend. He will, however, be obliged to forego cigarette smoking and to attend parade of prisoners at gaol awaiting trial.

The Hon and Rev A Douglas writes:—"My nephew, Lord Douglas, was certainly not authorised by my mother, my sister and myself to say, as reported, 'every member of our family, except my father, disbelieved absolutely and entirely the allegations of the defence.' We do most certainly believe them, and must repudiate any sympathy with that statement of my nephew."

London, Saturday.

The doors of Bow street Police Court were besieged at a comparatively early hour this morning, it being known that Mr Oscar Wilde, who had been arrested on the previous evening, would be placed in the dock. That part of the building in which extradition cases are usually taken was speedily thronged to its utmost capacity, and the appearance of the prisoner was eagerly awaited.

Sir John Bridge took his seat a few minutes after eleven. Wilde was simultaneously brought up from the cells. He was attired in a heavy overcoat which he wore at the Old Bailey. He entered the dock with an easy air, and having deposited his silk hat upon the seat, bowed slightly to the magistrate, and then leant forward upon the rail, and listened attentively to Mr Gill’s opening.

Mr Gill, in stating the case for the prosecution, mentioned a series of charges that they would undertake to prove against the prisoner. In the first case the names of Taylor and Parker were introduced.

Charles Parker, a good-looking, well-dressed youth of 19 years of age, went into the witness box, and was giving evidence when Mr Gill caused a momentary flutter of excitement by announcing the arrest of Taylor.

Pending Taylor’s arrival in the dock, Mr. C O Humphreys, Wilde’s solicitor, elicited from the magistrate that to-day’s proceedings would be of some length.

Taylor, a young man strongly resembling Parker in appearance and address, though somewhat older, was then brought in, and took his stand beside Wilde.

Parker then continued his evidence.

Alfred Wood, formerly a clerk, was next examined, and gave important evidence.

Arthur Mayor, who had been a guest of Wilde’s at the Albemarle Hotel, Anton Miggo, masseur; and Margaret Cottar, a chambermaid at the Savoy Hotel, were examined, and On the application of Mr Gill the Magistrate remanded the prisoners until Thursday next.

His Worship declined to accede to an application for bail.

Mr Travers Humphreys towards the end of the sitting appeared as counsel for Wilde.
