LONDON, April 19. - At the Bow-street Police Court to-day Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor, charged with serious misdemeanors, were
brought up on remand and formally committed for trial, bail being refused.
Wilde was much more pallid and distressed than he had seemed since he first appeared in court. It was necessary to allow him a seat in
the dock, and he rested there in a limp fashion, paying no attention to the proceedings.
The list of charges of gross indecency against Wilde was read. He was asked by the magistrate if he wished to say anything in reply.
Wilde answered, "Not at present."
After the evidence in the case had been presented a list of the charges against Wilde was read and he wa asked by the magistrate if he
wished to say anything in reply. Wilde answered, "Not at present."
Counsel on behalf of Wilde made an application for bail, but the presiding magistrate replied that he considered the evidence so
serious that bail could not be allowed.
