Difference
Mr Wilde was subjected to a stringent cross-examination with a view to showing that "Dorian Grey" and some articles in the magazine
Chameleon, with which he is connected, are of an immoral tendency. Mr Wilde insisted that they are merely an expression of artistic faculty. His letters
to Lord Douglas were prose poems, extraordinary perhaps, but not justifying an immoral interpretation. He admitted that he gave one of his alleged
blackmailers £21 and lunched with him in a private room afterwards. The case was adjourned. Defendant was admitted to bail.
