LONDON, April 10.-It will be remembered that among the unsavory happenings of the Queensberry-Wilde case one incident in especial
caused comment and remark.
This was the suppressing by mutual consent the counsel of the name of a person who not only introduced Taylor to Wilde (according to
the latter's story), but who also was concerned in some of Wilde's other doings. It was then stated that this anonymous person, designated by Sir E.
Clarke as "B," was a man of position and repute, who is at present not in England. I hear it is now whispered that "B" is a member of the House of Peers
who left England on a pleasure trip some weeks ago.
It is also rumored that a warrant has been issued for his arrest, but I have good authority for stating that this is absolutely
untrue. Indeed I can state positively that up to a late hour last night no new warrants against any one in connection with the Wilde case had been issued
and that at least one person of some consequence in London is being closely watched by the police.
This is, however, perfectly true and his arrest may not improbably take place this week.
