The charge of libel against the Marquis of Queensberry was finished to-day. A verdict of not guilty was returned. The jury considered
that the charges made by Queensberry were of public benefit. Wilde's counsel withdrew from the case. 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 has yet been applied for, but counsel for the Marquis of Queensberry has sent the Public Prosecutor a statement of
witnesses and notes on the evidence in order to prevent a miscarriage of justice.
