The Toronto World - Tuesday, May 21, 1895

London, May 20.—Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor were arraigned in the Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey, this morning, for re-trial. Wilde was accompanied by his surety, Lord Douglas of Hawick, and the Rev. Stuart Headlam, and entered the dock smilingly. He is obviously very much improved in health, and spirits as well. Sir Edward Clarke asked for a separate trial for Wilde, on the ground that the indictment against him differed from that against Taylor. The court granted Wilde a separate trial, and the first case, that against Taylor, proceeded.

Wilde was released on bail, his former sureties being renewed until the conclusion of Taylor’s trial.
