NEWS AND NOTES
IN A
NUTSHELL.
THE BUSY MAN'S COLUMN.
Sir Edward Clark, Q.C., who is counsel for Oscar Wilde, asked yesterday for an adjournment of the new trial of his client until next sessions of the Court. Mr F. Lockwood, Q.C., who prosecutes for the Crown, objected. Sir Alfred Wills said he would await the issue of the trial of Taylor before giving his decision. Meanwhile Wilde has been admitted to bail.
Before the Court of the Queen's Bench in London yesterday the Grand Jury accepted a suggestion from the presiding judge, Sir Alfred Wills, and it was decided to place Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor on trial separately for the abominable crime of which they stand accused. The case against Taylor was taken first, and the evidence was much the same as that given at the previous trial, Charles Parker, the young out-of-work valet, being the principal witness. The case was not concluded yesterday.
