Justice Wills suggested in his charge to the Grand Jury that Wilde and Taylor, in whose case the jury in the first trial on 1st May failed

separately, but urged that the hearing of Wilde's case should be postponed til next session.
Counsel for the Crown opposed the application, and Justice Wills stated that he would await the result of Taylor's trial before finally
deciding on the application to postpone the hearing in Wilde's case.
