Events

Oscar Wilde's arrest and conviction

* February 18 — John Sholto Douglas, 9th Marquess of Queensberry, father of Oscar Wilde's lover, left a calling card at one of Wilde's clubs, the Albemarle. On the back of the card he wrote "For Oscar Wilde posing as a Somdomite" (a misspelling of "Sodomite"); Wilde charged him with criminal libel
* April — the government takes over prosecution of the case but loses it as the defense brings in evidence of Wilde's past liaisons with men and teenage boys
* April 6 — Wilde arrested at the Cadogan Hotel, London, and charged with "committing acts of gross indecency with other male persons"
* May 25 — Wilde convicted and sentenced to two years' hard labor
