LORD QUEENSBERRY AND HIS
LONDON, May 21.
A somewhat sensational incident occurred in Piccadilly to-day, when the Marquis of Queensberry met his son, Lord Alfred Douglas, and
inflicted severe chastisement upon him in the street. Both father and son were arrested, but were afterwards admitted to bail.
LONDON, May 22.
Further details of the encounter in Piccadilly between, the Marquis of Queensberry and his son show that Lord Alfred Douglas commenced
the quarrel by calling the Marquis a liar and slanderer. Lord Queensberry eventually knocked his son down, and a furious struggle ensued between the two,
which continued until they were separated by the police. The Marquis was heartily cheered by the crowd.
It has now transpired that it was not Lord Alfred Douglas that came into conflict with the Marquis of Queensberry in Piccadilly, but
Lord Douglas, of Hawick, the eldest surviving son and heir of the Marquis, who accused his father of having written insulting letters to Lady Douglas
because he (Lord Douglas) had bailed out Oscar Wilde.
The Marquis of Queensberry declares that he is anxious to renew the fight with his son, and is willing to stake £10,000 on the event.
The Marquis of Queensberry and Lord Douglas were brought up at the Police Court to-day, and were bound over in sureties of £500 each to
keep the peace.
