Belfast News-Letter - Monday, May 6, 1895
London, Sunday.—Baron Pollock yesterday consented to the release of Oscar Wilde on personal bail of £2,500, coupled with two sureties of £1,250 each. The Press Association, in a later message, states on the authority of Mr. Humphreys, the solicitor to Mr. Oscar Wilde, that the bail had been fixed by Baron Pollock this morning. An application was made that one surety of £2,500 should be accepted, instead of two sureties of £1,250 each. The application will be renewed on Monday morning, when his Lordship will give his decision.
Yesterday evening Mr. Oscar Wilde had not been released on bail. Yesterday morning the Marquis of Queensberry visited Holloway Jail, and had an interview with officials of the prison, which is believed to have had reference to his son, Lord ALfred Douglas.
