The Globe - Wednesday, May 22, 1895
The trial of Alfred Taylor was resumed the Old Bailey Court this morning. Taylor was found guilty on several counts in the indictment. The The court deferred his sentence.
The Marquis of Queensberry met his son, Lord Alfred Douglas, in Piccadilly, shortly after the conclusion of the Taylor trial, when he stopped him and abused him roundly for continuing to uphold Oscar Wilde. A vehement exchange of violent words ensued and the quarrel was rapidly reaching the point of blows when the police broke through the large crowd which collected and stopped the row. Both Lord Queensberry and his son were arrested and taken to the Vine street police station, followed by a mob. After a short detention at the station they were both released. Another report has it that the Marquis and Lord Alfred fought in the street with sticks and fists, the son getting much the worst of it, showing several contusions in the face. The Marquis upon leaving the police station showed traces of having been engaged in an affray. He was cheered by the crowd until he drove off in a cab.
The Marquis of Queensberry and his son Lord Alfred Douglas have been summed to appear in the Marlborough street court tomorrow morning, to answer the charge of disorderly conduct and fighting on the street.
