The Western Star - Saturday, May 25, 1895

The relations existing between the Marquis of Queensberry and his son (Lord Alfred Douglas), arising out of the Oscar Wild scandal, continue strained, and in Picadilly the Marquis severely chastised his son. Both were arrested ad subsequently admitted to bail. It appears that Lord Alfred Douglas began the quarrel with his father by calling the Marquis a liar and a slanderer. The latter eventually knocked his son down, and a furious struggle resulted until the police interfered and separated them.
