London, Saturday Morning. […] The sudden ending of the prosecution of the Marquis of Queensberry was not at all a surprise. After the
outline given by Mr. Carson of the evidence he proposed to call it was considered pretty certain that the trial was destined to have a sensational
termination. The suit is not one that could be discussed under any circumstances; but now that Mr. Wilde is in custody on a heinous charge, which again
brings the whole matter subjudice, there is an additional reason for shunning mention of it. It is hoped that when that case is brought into court again
it will be found possible to try it in camera, as otherwise it will apparently be availed of by sensational papers for catchpenny purposes. Meantime it
may be said that profound sympathy is felt with Lady Wilde in the trial that has overtaken her in her declining years.

Mr. Edward Carson, Q C, has won great distinction by the manner in which he has conducted the case. In fact, I heard that one of the
most eminent judges on the English bench, and certainly the greatest living authority on criminal advocacy, expressed the opinion that in a short time Mr
Carson "would sweep the English Bar." There is no doubt that in the time Mr. Carson has been at the English Bar he has made enormous strides, and that his
success is to be accounted for by the ability with which he has availed of the exceptional opportunities thrown open to him by the interest of high-placed
friends.

During Mr. Sexton’s speech in the House last evening Mr. Carson entered the House, and was congratulated by Mr. Balfour on his recent
success. He had scarcely taken his seat when Sir Edward Clarke came in, and sat at the other side of the leader of the Opposition, with whom he entered
into conversation. Sir Edward, usually so perky, looked decidedly low in the mouth, while Mr Carson, on the other hand, was naturally elated. Presently
the Attorney-General—Sir R Reid—took his place on the Government benches, and nodded across a congratulation to Mr. Carson, and shortly afterwards they
had a lengthened consultation behind the Speaker’s chair. Meanwhile Mr. Goschen had a chat with Sir Edwd Clarke, who produced some letters from his
pocket, which Mr. Goschen read eagerly. Mr. Carson was quite the centre of attraction during the remainder of the sitting, all the occupants of the front
Opposition benches going up to him as they came in and conveying their congratulations. There is no doubt that this signal triumph advanced him to a
foremost position at the English Bar.
