On Saturday evening, immediately following the passing of sentence on Wilde and Taylor, the prisoners were removed to the cells in
Newgate Prison, adjoining the Central Criminal Court, pending the preparation of the legal warrants authorising their detention for two years. Both were
suffering from nervousness and betrayed their mental anxiety. From the first they were separated, but travelled in the same prison van to Pentonville
Prison, where they will serve the preliminary portion of their sentence, a period to be eventually decided by the officials of the gaol.
UNDER THE PRISON BARBER.
When handed over to the Governor of Pentonville, the prisoners were taken separately to the reception ward, and each had to give
details of his identity and religion, and submit to medical examination, after which they passed through the hands of the prison bath-room attendants and
barber, and exchanged their own clothes for the prison garb, being afterwards handed over to the care of the chaplain.
Yesterday they attended the prison chapel with the other occupants of the gaol, and, with the exception of exercise time, they were
confined to their cells, where they will in future be kept, unless their health becomes such as to entitle them to the infirmary treatment, in which event
the prison doctor will decide the nature of the work they must perform. By the terms of their sentence they will be isolated from their friends except
upon four occasions each year, and even this privilege may be forfeited by indifferent conduct.
Today they attended the prison chapel with the other occupants of the jail, and with the exception of exercise time that were confined
to their cells, where they will in future be kept unless their health becomes such as to entitle them to infirmary treatment, in which event the prison
doctor will decide the nature of the work they must perform. By the terms of their sentence they will be isolated from their friends except upon four
occasions each year, and even this privilege may be forfeited by indifferent conduct.
