Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor were again placed in the dock at Bow street today before Sir John Bridge on a charge of indecency. There
was again a crowded attendance of the public, the Extradition Court being inconveniently filled when the magistrate took his seat.
After the hearing of further evidence, Sir John Bridge, addressing Wilde, asked him whether he wished to say anything.
Wilde — Not at present, your worship.
Mr Travers Humphreys then applied for bail on behalf of Wilde, who, he said, was prepared to find substantial sureties. There was no
charge of felony in Wilde’s case — merely of misdemeanor.
Mr Travers Humphreys then applied for bail on behalf of Wilde, and pointed out that his client was not charged with felony but with
misdemeanour.
Sir John said it was a matter within his discretion.
Mr Newton also applied for bail on behalf of Taylor.
Mr Newton applied for bail for Taylor.
Sir John Said that in the exercise of his discretion he had to consider the gravity of the offence and the strength of the evidence.
With regard to the offence there was none to his mind so grave. As to the evidence adduced he would not say more than that he did not take it as slight,
therefore he must refused to accede to the application for bail.
Prisoners were then formally committed to take their trial at the Central Criminal Court, and were conducted back to the cells.
Important conferences were held at Whitehall today by the authorities regarding the disclosures made in the Wilde case. Some of the
witnesses have been under close examination, but no further arrests have been made.
