Editing 9 Mar 1895 - The Echo (London) (section)

==<center>In the Court To-Day</center>==
So great a crush as that experienced to-day has rarely, if ever, been witnessed in the whole history of the Court, and hundreds of people were unable to obtain admission. It is due to the officials to say that they had made excellent arrangements for the accommodation of the Press, considering the small amount of space at their disposal. The Marquis of Queensberry arrived early, and took a seat upon the bench usually reserved for witnesses. When the case commenced he moved up to the solicitor's table, and later still took a seat beside his counsel. Mr. Oscar Wilde, no longer an apostle of aesthetic culture, but an everyday sort of playwright and literary man, did not come into Court until the last moment, and had to wait some time for a chair, which was handed to him by direction of the magistrate, Mr. Newton - Mr. C. O. Humphreys, solicitor, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. E. Carson, Q.C., M.P., defended.
