LONDON, April 6. - Oscar Wilde has been remanded and bail refused. Crowds of people besieged the neighborhood of Bow street this
morning, and Bow-street Police Court was filled with interested spectators immediately after 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 on all sides. Wilde passed the night in a cell. Mr. C. F.
Gill, who was Mr. Edward M. Carson's junior counsel in defense of the Marquis of Queensberry, acted as prosecutor to-day for the Treasury Department.
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.
Sir John Bridge, presiding magistrate, took his seat on the bench at 11 o'clock. The doors leading to the cells were then closed, and
Wilde was seen approaching with stately step and carrying a silk hat in his hand. When he reached the center of the prisoners' dock Wilde 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 in 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."
