In the Wilde-Queensberry libel case yesterday Mr. Carson had not concluded his address to the jury when the Court adjourned. Counsel said the Marquis of Queensberry withdrew nothing, and what he had done was premeditatively done. Taylor was the pivot of the whole case, and was absent. The various men mentioned in the case would be called on the defendant's behalf, and would prove for what purpose they were introduced by Taylor to Wilde. The man Wood, whom plaintiff had given money to go to America, and who was supposed to be out of the way, would be produced, and give evidence. Mr. Carson alleged that Mr. Wilde had conceived a passion for Lord Alfred Douglas, who had be come so dominated by Wilde that he had even threatened to shoot his own father ; and Lord Queensberry was, he contended, bound to have acted as he had done in the interests of his son.
