The Otago Daily Times - Friday, May 24, 1895
London, May 22.
Oscar Wilde is being retired to-day before a fresh jury.
Wilde is being tried on a charge of indecency in conjunction with Taylor, Woods, and Shelley. The Marquis of Queensberry is attending the trial.
It was not Lord Alfred Douglas, but Lord Douglas of Hawick, with whom the quarrel occurred. The latter accused his father of sending insulting letters to Lady Douglas because he was one of Wilde's sureties. The Marquis of Queensberry cried out that he was anxious to renew the fight for L10,000, and, addressing the crowd, said he disowned his son. Both defendants were bound over in sureties of L500 to keep the peace.
