The Clutha Leader - Friday, May 24, 1895

Taylor was convicted on two counts in connection with the charges by William Parker, in the Oscar Wilde scandal. Sentence has been postponed.

The relations existing between the Marquis of Queensberry and his son (Lord Alfred Douglas), arising out of the Oscar Wilde scandal, continue strained, and in Piccadilly on Tuesday the Marquis severely chastised his son. Both were arrested, and subsequently admitted to bail. Sir Alfred Douglas began the quarrel by calling the Marquis of Queensberry a liar and a slanderer. The latter eventually knocked his son down. A furious struggle resulted, until the police interfered and separated the pair.
