His Honour, in sentencing the prisoners (Wilde and Taylor), spoke with great emotion. The verdict to his mind was a correct one beyond
all shadow of a doubt and it appeared to him useless to address the prisoners, who were evidently dead to all sense of shame. The case was the worst of
its kind he had ever had before him, and in passing the most severe sentence the law permitted he regretted that it was totally inadequate to the
dastardly nature of the offence. He then sentenced each prisoner to two years' hard labour. Taylor left the dock with a firm step, but Wilde appeared
haggard and dazed.
