The Boston Daily Advertiser - Wednesday, November 13, 1895
London, Nov. 12. - Oscar Wilde was brought from Wardsworth prison this morning to be publicly examined in the bankruptcy court regarding his assets. The court room was crowded, and his answers to questions were almost entirely monosyllabic, and given in a low voice. His testimony showed that in recent years he had lived beyond his income, and had sometimes been paid in advance for his plays, hence certain theatrical managers were his creditors instead of his debtors.
The court then passed upon Wilde’s accounts, which showed that his liabilities worth £3591, and that he had no available assets. It transpired in the course of the examination that there was a marriage settlement in favor of Wilde's wife of £800 a year.

When Oscar Wilde was publicly examined in the bankruptcy court in London, a few days ago, he looked ill, and his answers to questions were almost entirely monosyllabic and given in a low voice. His testimony showed that in recent years he had lived beyond his income, and had sometimes been paid in advance for his plays, hence certain theatrical managers are his creditors instead of his debtors.
