THE OSCAR WILDE CASE.
The "Morning" has just got behind the secrets of the jury retiring-room, and on Saturday last it published the following interesting
revelations with regard to this case :—We are enabled this morning to draw aside the veil which has hitherto shrouded the proceedings of the jury in the
Wilde case during their retirement, and to supply an authentic record of the voting on the four points submitted for their consideration. The following
are the questions, and the result of the voting on them :—
Did Wilde commit indecent acts with Shelley? 10 for, 2 against; with Wood—8 for, 4 against
; two persons at Savoy—10 for, 2 against ; Charles Parker—10 for, 2 against.
2. Did Taylor procure, or attempt to procure, the commission of the
acts, or any of them—10 for, 2 against.
3. Did Wilde or Taylor, or either of them, attempt to get Atkins to commit indecency with Wilde? Agreed, not
guilty.
4. Did Taylor commit indecent acts, first, with Charles Parker; secondly, with W. Parker?—2 for, 10 against.
