LONDON, May 26.
The case against Oscar Wilde was concluded at the Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey, yesterday.
Mr. Justice Wills summed up the case to the jury, his speech extending over three hours.
The jury then retired, and after a lapse of two hours brought in a verdict of guilty.
Wilde and his associate, Alfred Taylor, who had previously been found guilty on two separate counts, were sentenced together.
Mr. Justice Wills, in addressing the prisoners, regretted that he was only able to pass a sentence of two years, which in his opinion
was totally inadequate for the crime of which they had been convicted.
Sir Alfred Wills, in sentencing the prisoner, regretted that he was only able to sentence him to two years' imprisonment, which, in his
opinion, was totally inadequate punishment for the offence.
The prisoners were then each sentenced to two years' imprisonment.
