The charge of libel against the Marquis of Queensbury was finished to-day a verdict of "not guilty" being returned. The jury considered
that the charges made by the Marquis of Queensbury were of public benefit. Mr Wilde's counsel withdrew from the case and Wilde himself left the court
while his counsel was explaining that the plaintiff's literature and letters justified a plea of 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 Queensbury has sent the public
prosecutor a statement of the witnesses and notes on the evidence, in order to prevent a miscarriage of justice.
