The grand jury yesterday returned to the Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey a true bill against Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor for
sodomy, the prosecuting witnesses in the case against the Marquis of Queensberry. They are being lodged with a number of policemen in a house in Croyden
street to prevent them from being mobbed. The Exchange Telegraph Company says they will probably plead guilty to one offense, but Wilde's solicitors deny
that their client will plead guilty even to one. They declare his case will be fought to the end. The Sun says it is expected that Wilde's counsel will
apply for adjournment for a month and will ask that Wilde be admitted to bail; in the meantime Wilde's valuable collection of prints, Moorish pottery,
bric-a-brac will be sold at auction today. It includes Carlyle's writing table.
