The Irish News and Belfast Morning News - Monday, May 6, 1895
LONDON, SATURDAY.Mr. Baron Pollock, sitting in Chambers, decided to grant bail to the prisoner Oscar Wilde. His Lordship asked for two sureties in £1,250 each, in addition to personal bail of £2,500; but said that, should there be any difficulty in finding these sureties, a further application might be made on Monday morning, when, provided the inquiries which would be instituted by the police were satisfactory, he would be disposed to alter his conditions. No application whatever has yet been made on behalf of Taylor. The Exchange Company learns from inquiry at Holloway Jail this afternoon that Oscar Wilde is still detained there, and that his liberation is not likely to take place before Tuesday. It is generally believed that the sureties offered will be approved of, but the inquiry officials will not report before Monday next.
