LONDON, Aug. 22,––A statement of the condition of Oscar Wilde’s finances, which has just been issued, shows his liabilities to be £3,591, with no available assets. His insolvency is ascribed by him to the failure of his action for libel against the Marquis of Queensberry.
The latter is now a petitioning creditor, seeking the payment of the costs of his defence, which the Court ordered Wilde to pay. Wilde’s income has averaged £2,000 a year, chiefly derived from his literary and dramatic work. He has been insolvent for two years, his expenditures having greatly exceeded his income.
