LONDON, THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1895.
The trial of Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor on an indictment charging them with certain offences under the Criminal Law Amendment Act came to a conclusion yesterday at the Old Bailey. Mr. Justice Charles summed up, and the Jury after being absent for three hours and three-quarters returned into court, the foreman intimating that they were unable to agree to a verdict. Sir E. Clarke thereupon applied for bail for Wilde, and Mr. Clarke Hall for Taylor, but the learned Judge declined to accede to the applications, and the prisoners were removed in custody, the case being ordered to stand over until the next sessions.
