BREVITIES.
It is somewhat remarkable that Oscar Wilde, Mr. Carson, and Mr. Gill, the leading counsel against him, and Mr. Justice Henn Collins, who tried the case, are all Irishmen, and are all graduates of Dublin University. Mr. Wilde is a graduate of both Dublin and Oxford. Mr. Edward Carson and Oscar Wilde were undergraduates together in Trinity College, Dublin, upwards of 20 years ago, and were, indeed, members of the same class. Oscar Wilde was a scholar of Trinity, and one of the best classics of his year. Mr. Carson's Academic career was, comparatively speaking, undistinguished.
