Wilde Still in the Dock.
[BY THE HERALD'S SPECIAL WIRE.]

London, April 30.--There was a rush for seats at the Old Bailey yesterday, the expectation being that the Wilde case would be concluded before the Court rose. The prosecution, however, had just managed to get to the end of their case when the adjournment took place, and the last scene in this unpleasant drama is therefore postponed until to-day. The proceedings yesterday were not of absorbing interest. The first witnesses called were the shorthand writers who took verbatim notes of the Queensberry trial. Hotel employes gave evidence as to what had come under their notice during the visits of Wilde and Sergeant Harris, described the rooms in Little College-street and gave details of the arrest of Taylor. Another detective gave evidence as to arresting Wilde and as to letters found on him. Mr. Gill then read extracts from the transcripts of the Queensberry trial, which recital occupied nearly four hours, and the moment he sat down the Court adjourned.

It is confidently expected that to-day will see the end of the trial. Wilde looked even more haggard and ill as he sat in Court during the long proceedings yesterday.
