The Freeman’s Journal - Friday, April 5, 1895
The hearing of the libel action brought by Mr Oscar Wilde against the Marquis of Queensberry was resumed yesterday at the Old Bailey.
Mr Carson, Q C, M P, cross-examined the plaintiff at length as to his acquaintance with several persons, to whom he admitted having given money and presents.
In re-examination Sir Edward Clarke read a strong letter of warning against Wilde, addressed by Lord Queensberry to his son, Lord A Douglas, to which Lord A Douglas replied by telegram, "Queensberry, what a funny little man you are."
The case for the plaintiff closed, and Mr. Carson, Q C, began his address for the defence.
