London, Monday. 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 an application was made to Sir R Reid, Attorney-General, for a writ of error in respect of the point of law raised at the
trial by Sir E Clarke as to the framing of the indictment in which it will be remembered they 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 the
refusal.
