The Press Association has authority for stating with reference to Mr. Oscar Wilde's defence that Sir Edward Clarke wrote early on
Saturday to Mr. Humphreys saying that, having regard to the events of Friday, he thought it right to say that if Mr. Oscar Wilde desired that he should
defend him on his trial he would do so, and that for services so offered he, of course, would not accept any fee. Mr. Humphreys has replied stating that
Mr. Oscar Wilde gratefully accepts the offer.
LONDON, APRIL 9.--With reference to Oscar Wilde's defence the Westminster Gazette says Sir E. Clarke wrote early on Saturday to Mr.
Humphreys, saying that having regard to the events of Friday, he thought it right to say that if Wilde desired that he should defend him on his trial he
would do so, and that for the services so offered, he, of course, would not accept any fee. Mr. Humphreys has replied stating that the accused gratefully
accepts his offer of treatment.
A rumour was prevalent at the Law Courts this morning that Wilde's advisers intended to make an application to a judge in Chambers to
grant bail. No notice has yet been given of their intention to take this course, nor is it likely that it will be followed. In the case of Oscar it is not
yet certain whether the charge ultimately preferred against him is to be one of misdemeanor or felony, and, until the close of the magisterial
proceedings, it is certain that no such application as rumoured will be granted, nor is it likely to be made.
