The Press Association states that an effort has been made on technical grounds to secure the release of Oscar Wilde from prison. Within
the last few days an application was made to Sir R. T. Reid, the Attorney-General, for his fiat to issue for a 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. T. Reid bas not communicated to the prisoners solicitors the grounds upon which he
based the refusal.
