The jury, after a brief retirement, found the accused guilty on two counts connected with Charles and William Parker. The accused was remanded for sentence.
MAY 22.
The trial of Oscar Wilde is being proceeded with.
After the trial of Taylor to-day the Marquis of Queensberry met his son, Lord Douglas of Hawick, in Piccadilly, and severely chastised him. Both the Marquis and Lord Douglas of Hawick were arrested and were taken to the police station. They were afterwards released on bail.
MAY 22.
Further particulars of the scene in Piccadilly show that Lord Douglas of Hawick commenced the quarrel by accusing the Marquis of Queensberry of sending insulting letters to Lady Douglas of Hawick because her husband bailed out Oscar Wilde. Lord Douglas of Hawick called his father a "liar and a slanderer." The Marquis eventually knocked his son down, and a furious struggle ensued until the parties were separated by the police. A large crowd gathered round and cheered the Marquis.
The Marquis of Queensberry is anxious to renew the fight with Lord Douglas of Hawick for £10,000.
LATER.
The Marquis of Queensberry and Lord Douglas of Hawick were brought up at the Police Court this morning. They were ordered to be bound over in their own recognisances of £500 each to keep the peace.
