LONDON, April 19. - At Bow Street Police Court today Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor, charged with serious misdemeanors, were brought upon remand and formally committed for trial, bail being refused. Wilde was watch more pallid and distressed than he had seemed since he first appeared in court. It was necessary to allow him a seat in the dock and he rested there in a limp fashion, paying no attention to the proceedings.
The list of charges of gross indecency against Wilde was read and he was asked by the magistrate if he wished to say anything in reply. Wilde answered: "Not at present." Counsel on behalf of Wilde made application for bail, but the presiding magistrate replied that he considered the evidence so serious that bail could not be allowed.
