The Irish World and American Industrial Liberator - Saturday, November 23, 1895
Oscar Wilde was brought from Wardsworth Prison, England, Tuesday, to be publicly examined in the Bankruptcy Court regarding his assets. The courtroom was crowded. Wilde looked ill, and his answers to questions were monosyllabic and 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 passed upon Wilde’s accounts, which showed that his liabilities were £3,591, 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 for £800 a year.
The Brooklyn Citizen - Tuesday, November 12, 1895
LONDON, Nov. 12.- Oscar Wilde was brought from Wadsworth Prison this morning to be publicly examined in the Bankruptcy Court regarding his assets. The courtroom was crowded. Wilde looked ill, and his answers to questions were al-most 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 man-agers were his creditors instead of his debtors. The court then passed upon Wilde’s accounts, which showed that his liabilities were £3,291, 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.
