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.

DISSATISFIED WITH HIS TREATMENT
The Evening News states that the prisoner was seen yesterday by his friends and his solicitor. The effect of his incarceration has
not tended towards any improvement in his appearance. His hitherto curled locks are dank and straight, and he has dropped all pose whatever, his sole
anxiety being at the present moment with regard to bail, for which a most urgent and pressing demand is about to be made. According to the prison
authorities, he neither eats, drinks or sleeps. He is extremely talkative and gives vent to loud denunciations of the manner in which he is treated.
