THE startling and sudden termination of the Queensberry Wilde case has astonished most people. The plaintiff displayed so absolute a spirit of nonchalance in the beginning and seemed to take the whole matter in so light a view, that people naturally thought there could not be very much in the unspeakable charges implied against him in the Marquis of Queensberry’s defence. It is, indeed, a very sad and at the same time a very revolting case. It is sad, for one thing, that that a name illustrious in the history of the ‘48 movement should be dragged in the mire.
