NOTES AND COMMENTS

The trial of Oscar Wilde has at length been brought to a conclusion, Wilde being found guilty on all counts. The Judge was very severe in his remarks on passing sentence. He said he had no shadow of doubt as to the correctness of the verdict, and that the two prisoners (Wilde and Taylor) seemed dead to all sense of shame. Each prisoner was sentenced to two years' imprisonment, the extreme penalty permitted by the law.
