Difference
The Press Association states that an effort has been made on technical grounds to scure the release of Oscar Wilde from prison. Within
the last few days an application was made to Sir R. Reid, Attorney-General, for his fiat to issue for writ of error in respect of a point of law raised by
Sir E. Clarke as to the framing of the indictment, in which, it will be remembered, there were two sets of counts. The application has been refused by the
Attorney-General, after due consideration, but Sir R. Reid has not communicated to the prisoner's solicitors the grounds upon which he based the
refusal.
