THE TRIAL OF OSCAR WILDE.
TO-DAY’S PROCEEDINGS.
The trial of Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor, who were charged on twenty five counts with committing offences under the Criminal Law Amendment and other Acts, was resumed at the Old Bailey to-day before Mr Justice Charles. The same counsel appeared as on the previous day. The court was crowded.
Mr. Charles Mathews, on entering the court, passed through the dock to the cells for the purpose of having an interview with Wilde. This was of much longer duration than that of the previous day. On his return Mr. Mathews entered into conversation with Sir E. Clarke, who had meanwhile entered the court.
The Judge took his seat on the bench at half-past ten. The prisoners were then placed in the dock.
The examination of witnesses was then proceeded with. Their evidence was of such a nature that we cannot report it in these pages.
