London, April 5. -- The suit of Oscar Wilde against the Marquis of Queensberry, came to a sudden and unexpected termination to-day. Sir
Edward Clarke, leading counsel for the plaintiff, asked permission on behalf of his client to withdraw the suit, and submit to a verdict of not guilty in
regard to the words written by the Marquis of Queensberry, on the card left by the Marquis at the Albemarle Club, for Wilde, on February 18. The jury,
under instructions from Justice Collins, returned a verdict of not guilty, coupled with the statement that the justification set up as defense by the
Marquis of Queensberry was true in substance and in fact, and that the statement complained of was published for the public good. The verdict was received
with loud applause, which was not checked by the presiding justice. The Marquis of Queensberry was discharged from custody, and left the court.
Shortly afterward it was announced that a warrant for the arrest of Oscar Wilde was to be applied for, all the papers in the case
having been submitted to the public prosecutor.
