The Freeman’s Journal - Friday, August 23, 1895
London, Thursday.
At the London Bankruptcy Court to-day the accounts were issued under the failure of Oscar Wilde, now of her Majesty's prison, Wandsworth. The liabilities are expected to rank at £3,591, and no available assets are shown. The debtor states that his income, which he estimates at £2,000 a year, has been derived chiefly from royalties received on plays and literary works written by him. He attributes his insolvency to the failure of legal proceedings taken by him against the petitioning creditor, the Marquis of Queensberry, and to his conviction in the recent trial of Regina v Wilde. The Official Receiver observes, however, that it would appear the debtor has been insolvent for at least two years, and that his household and personal expenditure has been considerably in excess of his income.
