Baron Pollock yesterday consented to the release of Oscar Wilde on personal bail of £2,500, coupled with two sureties of £1,250 each.
In a later message the Press Association states, on the authority of Mr Humphreys, solicitor for Oscar Wilde, that after the bail had
been fixed by Baron Pollock, an application was made that one surety of £2,500 should be accepted instead of two sureties of £1,250. Each application will
be renewed on Monday, when his lordship will give his decision. Mr Humphreys states that Wilde could, if necessary, find one surety for £5,000.

The Marquis of Queensberry paid an unexpected visit to Holloway Jail yesterday morning, where the accused men Wilde and Taylor are
awaiting the decision of the Treasury regarding the new trial. The object of the visit of the Marquis to Holloway has not transpired, but he had an
interview with the chief prison officials. Oscar Wilde and Taylor apparently knew nothing of the visit of his lordship, who did not remain at the prison
long.
Up to official time of closing the prison last night Wilde had not been bailed.
