15 matches

Hier, devant la cour des faillites de Londres, ont été produits les documents concernant la faillite d’Oscar Wilde. On sait que le poète a été mis dans cette situation par la perte de son procès contre lord Queensberry et le paiement des frais de justice.

Il a été établi que son revenu, qui s’élevait autrefois à 50,000 francs par an, provenait entièrement de ses œuvres dramatiques et littéraires. L’examen des comptes montre que les dettes non garanties s'élèvent à 66,900 francs et celles garanties partiellement à 22,875 francs. Le passif total se monte à 89,775 francs. Il paraît que, depuis deux ans, le condamné faisait des dépenses bien supérieures à ses revenus.

LAW COURTS
Oscar Wilde bankrupt

Yesterday, before the Bankruptcy Court in London, the documents relating to the bankruptcy of Oscar Wilde were produced. We know that the poet was put in this situation by the loss of his case against Lord Queensberry and the payment of legal costs.

It has been established that his income, which formerly amounted to 50,000 francs a year, came entirely from his dramatic and literary works. Examination of the accounts shows that the unsecured debts amount to 66,900 francs and those partially guaranteed to 22,875 francs. Total liabilities amount to 89,775 francs. It seems that for two years the condemned man had been spending far more than his income.
