Difference
The Press Association states that an effort has been made, on technical grounds, to secure the release of Oscar Wilde 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 prisoner's solicitors the grounds upon which he based his refusal.
