LONDON, April 6.—Crowds of people besieged the vicinity of Bow street early this morning, and the Police Court was filled with
interested spectators as soon as the doors were opened. Among those who succeeded in pressing their way into Court was one good-looking middle-aged woman.
All were anxious to see Oscar Wilde, whose arrest yesterday, following close upon the sensational termination of his suit for libel against the Marquis of
Queensberry, is discussed upon all sides.
Mr. C. F. Gill, who was Mr. Edward M. Carson's junior counsel in the defense of the Marquis of Queensberry case, acted as Prosecutor
to-day for the Treasury Department. Sir John Bridge, the Presiding Magistrate, took his seat on the bench at 11 o'clock. The doors leading to the cells
were then opened, and Wilde was seen approaching, carrying a silk hat in his hand. When he reached the center of the prisoner's dock he deposited his hat
on the seat, bowed to Sir John Bridge, folded his arms and leaned on the rail of the dock in the same insolent manner which he displayed while on the
witness stand in the Old Bailey.
London, April 6– Oscar Wilde, who passed last night in the Bow street police station after his arrest by officers of the treasury
department, was arraigned in the Bow street court this morning. The courtroom was crowded when Sir John Bridge, the presiding judge, appeared. Lawyer C.
F. Fill, the Marquis of Queensberry’s junior counsel, acted as prosecutor for the treasury department. When the magistrate took his seat the doors leading
to the cells were opened and Wilde was seen approaching with a stately step and carrying a silk hat in his hand. When he reached the center of the
prisoners’ dock he calmly deposited his hat on the seat, bowed to Sir John Bridge, folded his arms and leaned on the rail of the dock in the same insolent
manner which he displayed while on the witness stand on the Old Bailey.
After the examination of a number of witnesses who gave testimony of a most damaging character, Wilde was remanded until Thursday
next.
Counsel asked that his client, Wilde, be released on bail, but the Magistrate declined to do so. Counsel persisted, saying that he
could offer substantial bail, but Sir John Bridge replied, "It is not a case for bail at all."
