London, Sept. 24. - The examination of Oscar Wilde, in bankruptcy proceedings, was to have taken place today, and the convict playwright and author was brought from his prison to the bankruptcy court in a cab.
He was not called to the stand, however, his counsel having asked for an adjournment of the proceedings, which the court granted.
In moving for the adjournment council stated that Wilde’s debts amounted to £3581. Toward the liquidation of this sum his friends had subscribed £1500, and the remainder would be made up so that 20 shillings in the pound would be paid.
