COMMITTED FOR TRIAL.
OSCAR WILDE AND HIS COMPANION TAYLOR AGAIN APPEAR AT BOW STREET.
[BY THE HERALD'S SPECIAL WIRE]

LONDON, April 20.-For the third time Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor were placed in the dock at Bow Street yesterday morning, for further examination by Sir J. Bridge, upon the exceedingly grave charges preferred against them.

Wilde looked very ill and careworn. Taylor, who was wearing a new black suit, had an air of bravado and smiled when Charles Parker, a previous witness, was recalled and questioned by Mr. Gill.

Evidence was given as to Wilde's visits to the Savoy Hotel, and further examination of the witnesses only tended to bring forth repetitions of what has already transpired.

Sir J. Bridge finally committed both prisoners for trial. Counsel both for Wilde and Taylor made strenuous efforts to induce Sir John to grant bail, but the magistrate was on this point very obdurate, and they were again removed to Holloway Jail.

There is still a continued prevalence of gossip concerning well-known people whom it is attempted by current rumor to connect with the case. It was stated yesterday that a conference of several hours' duration took place at Scotland Yard between the police and the Treasury officials relative to the advisability of issuing new warrants against persons whose names have at one time or another been mentioned during the course of the Old Bailey trial and the Bow-street proceedings.
