A JUDGE INDIGNANT.
DURING LIBEL ACTION.
LORD ALFRED DOUGLAS REBUKED. By' Telegraph—Press Association—Copyridil (Rec. April 19, 2.25 p.m.) London, April 18. During the hearing of tho action for libel brought by Lord Alfred Douglas against Dr. Arthur Rausome and "Tho Times" Book Club in connection with Dr. Rausome's book on Oscar Wilde, alleging that Lord Douglas was responsible for Wilde's publio disgrace and abandonment to poverty, Judge Darling displayed indignation at Lord Alfred Douglas's behaviour. At Lord Alfred Douglas's request, portions of "De Proi'uudis," Oscar Wildo's last work in prose, were read, during which Lord Alfred Douglas left tho Court. Tho Judge ordered him to return to the Court, and severely rebuked him for leaving. A-British Museum official stated that the manuscript of "Do Profundis" was lodged in tho Museum on condition that it remained unopened till 1960, when tho question of its publication could be considered.
