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, Right Hon. Sir Joseph Ronals, 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 the Rev. Stewart Headlum, his two bondsmen. He looked haggard, but had apparently improved in health since his release on bail, and walked
smilingly into the prisoners' dock, where he took his stand beside Alfred Taylor, who is charged with similar offenses.

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 the Rev. Stewart Headlam, in $6,230 each. It is now
probable that Wilde's case will go over until 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. In the meanwhile, the trial of Alfred Taylor proceeded.
