It was not Lord Alfred Douglas, but Lord Douglas of Hawick, who quarrelled with his father the Marquis of Queensberry, in Piccadilly.

Lord Douglas accused his father of sending insulting letters to Lady Douglas because he was one of Wilde's sureties. Lord Queensberry shouted out that he was anxious to renew the fight for £10,000; and addressing the crowd he said be disowned his son.

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