The relations existing between the Marquis of Queensberry and his son (Lord Douglas), arising out of the Oscar Wilde scandal, continue strained, and in Piccadilly to-day the Marquis severely chastised his son. Both were arrested, and subsequently admitted to bail.

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