A London correspondent telegraphs—The issue of further warrants in the Oscar Wilde affair has given another fillip to public excitement.
Everybody is speculating as to the identity of the person "B" who has been referred to throughout the trial, although judge, counsel, and all concerned
have allowed "B’s" name to be suppressed. Considerable surprise has been expressed that the prosecution of Wilde has been taken out under a section of the
Criminal Law Amendment Act which reduces the offence charged from a felony to a misdemeanour with a maximum sentence of two years for each offence to run
concurrently or not at the discretion of the judge.

statement that Mr Oscar Wilde gratefully accepts the offer.
