THE LIBEL CASE.

London, April 4.

Immense crowds attend the trial of the Marquis of Queensbury on the charge of libelling Mr Oscar Wilde. The evidence adduced to-day showed that Wilde paid heavy black mail for his gushing letters to Lord Alfred Douglas (the Marquis' son), which were found in the pockets of his old clothes when given away. The defence is based on the revelations in these letters.
