The question of bail for Oscar Wilde in connection with the charges still pending against him was tentatively settled to-day. An
application was made before Mr. Baron Pollock yesterday, when his lordship expressed his willingness to accept bail, but declined at the time to fix the
amount, although Mr. Charles Mathews who appeared for Wilde, suggested that two sureties in £1,000 each would be forthcoming. To-day the legal
representatives of both sides were present in Mr. Baron Pollock's private room, and his lordship announced that he had decided to fix the amount of bail
at £5,000. The prisoner would have to give his personal security for £2,500, and two other sureties in £1,250 each. Mr. Mathews, on hearing this,
intimated that there might be some difficulty in finding two sureties for the amount fixed, but said he should have no difficulty in finding one surety
for a very much larger sum. Mr. Baron Pollock replied that, in that event, another application had better be made on Monday. Detective-inspector Brockwell
was present in chambers, and Mr. Humphreys, Wilde's solicitor, informed him who the sureties would in all probability be, but formal notice of this fact
will have to be given at Bow-street, in order that the police may make the usual inquiries. At present no application has been made on behalf of Taylor.
