LONDON, May 20. - The Old Bailey Court was crowded to-day, when Justice Wills, accompanied by the Lord Mayor of London, Sir Joseph
Ronals, and several Aldermen, took their seats upon the bench preparatory to the second trial of Oscar Wilde, who is charged with serious misdemeanors.
Wilde had previously been driven to the Old Bailey, accompanied by Lord Douglas of Hawick and the Rev. Stewart Headlam, his two
bondsmen. He looked haggard, but had apparently improved in health since his release on bail, and walked smilingly into the prisoner's dock, where he took
his stand beside Alfred Taylor, charged with similar offenses.
Sir Edward Clark, Q.C. counsel for Wilde, made an elaborate argument in favor of having Wilde tried separately.
The Judge agreed to this and decided to try Taylor first.
Sir Edward Clarke then dwelt at length on the great injustice done his client by having to wait while Alfred Taylor was tried. But in
spite of the argument of his counsel, Wilde looked only too pleased as he stepped from the dock and the Judge allowed the bail to be renewed and he was
again released from custody on bail.

renewed, and he was again released from custody, after filing his personal bond in $12,500 and finding two sureties, Lord Douglas, of Hawick, and Rev.
Stewart Headlam, in $6,250 each.
It is probable that Wilde's case will go over until the next session of the Central Criminal Court, and there is evidently but a slight
chance of his conviction. Indignant comment is heard on all sides at the turn events have taken.
