Finally it was agreed that Mr Gill should read from the beginning of the cross-examination. The publications upon which Wilde had given answers were "The Chameleon," "Dorian Grey," "The Priest and the Acolyte," and "Phrases and Philosophies for the Young," the answers disclosing not only how far he identified himself with the principles therein enunciated, but his views generally upon art and morality.

On the court resuming after luncheon Mr A Gill took up the reading of Wilde's deposition, where Mr C F Gill had broken off. The answers given related to the prisoner's letters to Lord Alfred Douglas, and to his denials given to suggestions respecting witnesses for the Treasury.
At a later stage, replying to a formal objection raised by Taylor's counsel, the judge said the deposition would be considered at present as evidence against Wilde only.
The reading was continued through the afternoon, Mr Avory assisting his two learned friends, and Sir Edward Clarke followed by reading Wilde's re-examination upon the numerous points raised in cross-examination.
The learned counsel concluded at twenty minutes to five, and Mr Gill intimated that the Crown case was now closed.
His lordship at once adjourned until to-morrow.
