LONDON, May 20. — The Old Bailey Court was crowded to-day at 11 o'clock in the morning, when Justice Wills, accompanied by the Lord
Mayor of London, Rt. Hon. Sir Joseph Ronais and several Aldermen, took their seats upon the bench, preparatory to the commencement of the second trial of
Oscar Wilde, who is charged with serious misdemeanors. Wilde had previously been driven to the Old Bailey. He was accompanied by Lord Douglas, of Hawick,
and 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, who is charged with similar offenses.
Sir Edward Clarke, Q. C., counsel for Wilde, immediately 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 which was done to 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 his bail to be
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 now 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. In consequence indignant comment is heard on all sides at the turn events have taken.
