THE Queensbery family are well in evidence over the Wilde affair. Lord Alfred Douglas has written to the Paris Figaro demanding an
apology for an incorrect reference to him apropos of "the affair with my father, the Marquis of Queensbery," and adding this delightful bit of regret—"I
have been in France for the last fifteen days, and I regret very much that it was not I but my eldest brother, Lord Douglas of Hawick, who corrected the
Marquis of Queensbery."
"I demand an apology for the falsehood that you have written about me in your journal, apropos of the affair with my father the
Marquis of Queensberry. "I have been in Paris for the last fifteen days, and I regret very much that it was not I but my eldest brother, Lord
Douglas of Hawick, who corrected the Marquis of Queensberry."
OSCAR WILDE was found guilty on Saturday, and he and Taylor were sentenced to the full term of imprisonment allowed by law in such
cases, namely—two years’ imprisonment with hard labour. The verdict seems to have been somewhat of a surprise, as a disagreement appears to have been
expected even by the prosecuting counsel. The evidence, of course, was strong, but the difficulty was that it came from tainted sources. However, it will
be pretty generally agreed that there was quite sufficient corroboration outside the informers’ evidence, and that the verdict was a just one.
AN extraordinary suggestion has been made by a London Newspaper to the effect that the first jury were not wholly free from the taint of
corruption. This is a very serious statement, of which more is perhaps likely to be heard in court.
