The sale of Oscar Wilde's effects by auction upon the order of the Sheriff is regarded as an indication that his pecuniary means are exhausted.

London, April 24.—Counsel for Oscar Wilde made application in the old Bailey Court for a postponement of his client’s trial. Taylor’s counsel, however, was desirous of proceeding, and the prosecuting lawyer argued in opposition to postponement, saying Wilde had had ample opportunity to prepare for trial. The court refused to grant a postponement and fixed Friday as the day for trial.

The sale of Oscar Wilde’s effects by auction upon the order of the sheriff is regarded as indicating that his pecuniary moans are exhausted.
