The Freeman's Journal - Saturday, June 1, 1895
OH, leave to us your old nobility." They provide us with such beautiful object-lessons. For instance, the Marquis of Queensberry met his son, Lord Douglas of Hawick, in Piccadilly, a few days since, and accused him of having written insulting letters to his stepmother. A crowd quickly gathered, and the Marquis, addressing the assemblage, publicly disowned his son, and Lord Douglas called his father a liar and a slanderer. The Marquis then struck his son, and a fight ensued—presumably under strict 'Queensberry rules'—Lord Douglas receiving a violent blow in the eye, which was blackened. The police had great difficulty in separating the two. Both appeared next morning at the Bow-street Police Court, and entered into sureties to keep the peace. It transpired that during the fracas in the street the Marquis of Queensberry offered to fight his son in any part of the country for £10,000.
