London, April 19. -- At the Bow Street Police Court today Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor, charged with serious misdemeanors, were
brought up on remand and were formally committed for trial, bail being refused in each case. It was noon before the prisoners were brought into the dock.
Wilde was much more pallid and distressed than he has seemed since he first appeared in court. It was necessary to allow him a seat in the dock and he
rested there in a limp fashion, paying no attention to the proceedings.

After the evidence in the case had been presented the charges against Wilde were read and he was asked by the magistrate if he wished
to say anything in reply. Wilde answered: "Not at present."
Alfred Taylor was then charged with attempting to perpetrate crime and both prisoners were committed for trial. Counsel on behalf of
Wilde made an application for bail, but the presiding magistrate replied that in his opinion the offense was so grave and he considered the evidence so
strong that bail could not be allowed.
