BAIL FOR OSCAR WILDE
Two Sureties of £1,250 Each and Personal Recognisance £2,500.
As a result of the application in Chambers, Baron Pollock announced to-day that he was willing to grant bail for Oscar Wilde. He required defendant's personal recognisance of £2,500 and two sureties of £1,250 each.
The Exchange Telegraph Company understands that Mr. Mathews intimated that there might be some difficulty in obtaining two sureties for the amount fixed, though one surety could be obtained for a much larger sum.

Baron Pollock said in that event a further application should be made to him on Monday morning.
should the bails be forthcoming, they will have to be tendered at Bow-st., in order that the police may make the necessary inquiries. Detective Brockwell was present at Chambers this morning, and Mr. Humphreys informed that officer who the sureties in all probability would be.
