THE WILDE CASE.
IF A TRUE BILL BE FOUND A POSTPONEMENT OF THE TRIAL WILL ME MOVED.
[BY THE HERALD'S
SPECIAL WIRE.]
LONDON, April 23.-In charging the Grand Jury at the Central Criminal Court yesterday the Recorder, the Westminster Gazette reports, made but the briefest reference to the Wilde case.
"There was," he said, "a very serious charge against two men, Wilde and Alfred Taylor. He did not think it necessary to again allude to all the facts of the case, but when the Grand Jury had heard the evidence of the witnesses called before the magistrates they would no doubt return true bills against both defendants.
In his charge to the Grand Jury at the Central Criminal Court to-day the Recorder said there was a very serious charge against two men, Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor. He did not think it was necessary to again allude to all the facts of that case, but when the Grand Jury had heard the evidence of the witnesses called before the magistrates, they would no doubt return true bills against both defendants.
An evening paper states that if a true bill be found Sir Edward Clarke, for the defence, will apply for a postponement of the trial until next sessions. Mr. Gill on behalf of the Treasury will oppose the application.
