West Coast Times - Saturday, May 25, 1895
Sir Alfred Douglas began to quarrel with his father, the Marquis of Queensberry, by calling him a liar and slanderer. The latter eventually knocked his son down. A furious struggle resulted until the police interfered and separated the pair.
It was not Lord Alfred Douglas but Lord Douglas of Howick with whom the quarrel occurred. The latter accused his father of sending insulting letters to Lady Douglas because he was one of Wilde's securities. The Marquis of Queensberry shouted out he was anxious to renew the fight for £10,000 and addressing the crowd said he disowned his son. Both were bound over in securities of £500 each to keep the peace.
Wilde's trial is now proceeding.
Oscar Wilde is being re-tried to day before a fresh jury.
