London, Tuesday.The expected application for Mr Oscar Wilde to be released on bail was made at Bow street this morning before Mr
Vaughan.
Mr Travers Humphreys appeared on behalf of the prisoner, while the Treasury was represented by Mr Argus Lewis.
Mr Humphreys briefly recapitulated the history of the case up to the application made yesterday to Baron Pollock, and said that he was
now prepared with the necessary sureties. Both of them were persons of substance, and their names had been submitted to and approved by the Treasury. One
was the Rev Stewart Headlam and the other Lord Douglas of Hawick, otherwise Viscount Drumlanrig, eldest son of the Marquis of Queensberry.
Both these gentlemen were called, and swore that they were worth £1,250, the amount of bail fixed for each surety by Baron Pollock.
Mr Vaughan said he was perfectly satisfied with the bail tendered, and he ordered Wilde’s immediate release.
The Rev Stewart Headlam, interviewed by a Press representative at the close of the proceedings as to his reason for becoming surety,
said—I have undertaken this responsibility on public grounds. I felt that the public mind had been prejudiced before the case began, and I was anxious to
give Mr Wilde any help I could to enable him to stand his trial in good health and spirits.
Wilde looked brighter and not much worse for his incarceration. The Rev. Stewart Headlam, in an interview as to his action, says: "I
have undertaken this responsibility on public grounds. I felt that the public mind has been prejudiced before the case began, and I anxious to give Mr.
Wilde any help I could to enable him to stand his trial in good health and spirits."
At the close of the hearing to-day Lord Douglas of Hawick and the Rev Stewart Headlam, accompanied by one of Messrs Humphrey’s clerks,
entered a cab and drove to Holloway gaol, where after Mr Oscar Wilde has entered into his own recognisances before the Governor of the prison he will be
at once released.
