No Hope for Wilde.
[BY THE HERALD’S SPECIAL WIRE.]

LONDON, June 18.––Mr. Oscar Wilde’s friends have since his conviction been tire-less in their efforts to secure his release.

The St, James’s Gazette says that within the last few days an application was made to Sir R. Reid, the Attorney-General, for his fiat to issue for a writ of error in respect of a point of a law raised by Sir E. Clarke as to the framing of the indictment in which, it will be remembered, there were two sets of counts.

The application has been refused by the Attorney-General after due consideration, but Sir R. Reid has not communicated to the prisoner’s solicitors the grounds upon which he based his refusal.
