Auckland Star - Thursday, May 23, 1895

London, May 22.

It was not Lord Alfred Douglas, but Lord Douglas of Hawick, with whom the quarrel occurred. The latter accused his father of sending insulting letters to Lady Douglas, because he (Lord Douglas) was one of Wilde's sureties.

The Marquis of Queensberry shouted out that he was anxious to renew the fight for £10,000, and, addressing the crowd, said he disowned his son.

Both were bound over in sureties of £500 each to keep the peace.

Wilde's trial is now proceeding.

Wilde is being tried on a charge of indecency in connection with Taylor, Parker, Woods and Shelley.

The Marquis of Queensberry is attending the trial.
