The Cork Examiner - Friday, June 7, 1895
The British Medical Journal says :—Many rumours have been spread abroad in regard to the health and treatment of Oscar Wilde, now confined in Pentonville prison. They are, however, absolutely without foundation. Notwithstanding all that has been said, it is a fact that Oscar Wilde is in good health and is not in the infirmary. It is impossible to avoid a feeling of indignation at the reckless diffusion of such unfounded stories as have been lately current. When once the prison door closes on a prisoner he is cut off from the world, and nothing that can be said can either aggravate or lighten his punishment. It is otherwise, however, in regard to his perfectly innocent relatives. For three months they are absolutely debarred from all communication with him. If they write their letters are returned, and he is not allowed to send a message or word of any sort. Under these circumstances it is hard that the feelings of relatives should be so gratuitously harrowed by an irresponsible press.

Many rumours have been spread abroad, says the British Medical Journal, in regard to the health and treatment of Oscar Wilde, now confined in Pentonville Prison. They are, however, absolutely without foundation. Notwithstanding all that has been said, it is the fact that Oscar Wilde is in good health, and is not in the infirmary. It is impossible to avoid a feeling of indignation at the reckless diffusion of such unfounded stories as have been lately current. When once the prison door closes on the prisoner he is cut off from the world, and nothing that can be said can either aggravate or lighten his punishment. It is otherwise, however, in regard to his perfectly innocent relations. For three months they are absolutely debarred from all communication with him. If they write, their letters are returned, and he is not allowed to send a message of any sort. Under these circumstances, it is hard that the feelings of relatives should be so gratuitously harrowed by an irresponsible Press.
