The hearing of the libel action brought by Mr Oscar Wilde against the Marquis of Queensberry was resumed yesterday at the Old Bailey.
The hearing of the libel action brought by Mr Oscar Wilde against the Marquis of Queensberry was resumed to-day at the Central Criminal
Court before Mr Justice Collins and the common jury.
Mr Carson, Q C, M P, cross-examined the plaintiff at length as to his acquaintance with several persons, to whom he admitted having
given money and presents.
In re-examination Sir Edward Clarke read a strong letter of warning against Wilde, addressed by Lord Queensberry to his son, Lord A
Douglas, to which Lord A Douglas replied by telegram, "Queensberry, what a funny little man you are."
The case for the plaintiff closed, and Mr. Carson, Q C, began his address for the defence.
