==<center>The Witness Cross-Examined</center>==
When the business of the Court was resumed, Mr. Carson rose to cross-examine the witness, explaining that he wanted to show that the step his client had taken was intended to break off Mr. Wilde's connection with Lord A. Douglas. The defendant, he contended, had been merely exercising a paternal right, and he (the learned counsel) did not propose to ask any questions in justification. He had a right, however, to ask the witness questions as to his acquaintance with the defendant's son.

Mr. Newton said he could not fall in with the course suggested by Mr. Carson; where upon the latter said he had no questions at all to ask.

Mr. Humphreys intimated that his case was now completed.
