When Oscar Wilde was publicly examined in the bankruptcy court in London, a few days ago, he looked ill, and his answers to questions were almost entirely monosyllabic and given in a low voice. His testimony showed that in recent years he had lived beyond his income, and had sometimes been paid in advance for his plays, hence certain theatrical managers are his creditors instead of his debtors.
