The Oamaru Mail - Friday, April 5, 1895
Oscar Wilde was subjected to a stringent cross-examination, with a view of showing that "Dorian Grey" and some articles in the magazine Chameleon, with which he is connected are of an immoral tendency. Wilde insisted that they are merely the expression of an artistic faculty. His letters to Lord A. Douglas were prose poems, extraordinary, perhaps, but not justifying an immoral interpretation. He admitted that he gave one of his alleged blackmailers L21, and lunched with him in a private room afterwards. The case has been adjourned. Defendant was admitted to bail.
