At the close of the trial of Alfred Taylor at the Old Bailey to-day, his Honor Mr. Justice Wills gave his reserved decision on the
application made to him yesterday by Sir Edward Clarke, Q.C., for a postponement until next session of the trial of Oscar Wilde.

Mr Justice Wills said that he did not perceive any sufficient reason why it should be granted. Therefore, he felt it to be his duty to
refuse the request.

Wilde is at present out on bail, and has been ordered to surrender himself to-morrow morning.
