Difference
The charge of libel against the Marquis of Queensberry finished to-day, a verdict of "Not Guilty" being returned. The jury considered that the charges made by the Marquis of Queensberry were of public benefit. Wilde's counsel withdrew from the case, and Wilde himself left the court while his counsel was explaining that plaintiff's literature and letters justified the plea of the defence that Wilde posed as an immoral person. He explained that the reason he withdrew from the case was so as to avoid the appalling evidence which would be adduced. The verdict was received with loud cheers.
It is expected that Wilde will be arrested. No warrant is yet applied for, but counsel for the Marquis of Queensberry has sent the Public Prosecutor a statement of the witnesses and notes on the evidence in order to prevent a miscarriage of justice.
