London, Monday.The Press Association states that an effort has been made, on technical grounds, to secure the release of Oscar
Wild from prison. Within the last few days application was made to Sir R Reid, Attorney-General, for a writ of error in respect of a point of law raised
at the trial by Sir E Clarke as to the framing of an indictment in which it will be remembered there were two sets of counts. The application has been
refused by the Attorney-General after due consideration, but Sir R Reid has not communicated to the prisoners’ solicitors the grounds upon which he based
his refusal.
