OSCAR WILDE.
THE AMOUNT OF BAIL FIXED.
Baron Pollock, sitting in Chambers, decided on Saturday to allow Oscar Wilde out on bail, himself security in £2500, and two other sureties of £1250 each. The judge, in the interval elapsed since Friday afternoon, had read through the whole of the depositions, and consulted with Mr Justice Charles, Mr Mathews intimated that there might be some difficulty in obtaining two sureties for the amount fixed, though one surely could be obtained for a much larger sum. Baron Pollock said that in that event a further application should be made to him on Monday morning. No application has yet been made on behalf of Taylor.

The Press Association understands that the Marquess of Queensberry paid an unexpected visit to Holloway Gaol on Saturday morning. The object of the visit has not transpired, but he had an interview with the chief prison officials. Oscar Wilde and Taylor apparently know nothing of the visit of the Marquess, who did not remain long at the prison.
