POLICE

At BOW-STREET, yesterday, in pursuance of the Judge's order, Mr. Travers Humphreys applied to Mr. Vaughan to admit Oscar Wilde to bail in two sureties of £1,250 each and his own recognizances in £2,500. The Rev. Stewart Duckworth Headlam, of 31, Upper Bedford-place, W.C., and Percy Sholto Douglas, Lord Douglas of Hawick and Tibbers, Chalcott-house, Long Ditton, offered themselves as sureties. Mr. Angus Lewis, who appeared for the Treasury, stated that there was no objection to them, and they were then sworn as to their means and willingness, and duly accepted. In the afternoon Wilde himself was conveyed to Bow-street, in the custody of Sergeant White, chief gaoler at Bow-street, and Sergeant Brockwell, to enter into his own recognizances. He was met there by his co-sureties, and subsequently left the Court in their company.
