Referring to the encounter between the Marquis of Queensberry and his son Lord Douglas of Hawick, the fashionable afternoon promenade on
Piccadilly was well filled when they met. A few words passed between them and then there was a very determined conflict. Lord Douglas’ countenance was
disfigured with a black eye. Neither the father not son preferred a charge, so they were merely accused of disorderly conduct. Lord Douglas banged his
father’s head with an umbrella during the fight and loudly asked whether the Marquis of Queensberry intended to cease writing objectionable letters to
Lord Douglas’ wife. The police arriving upon the scene, Lord Douglas excitedly repeated this accusation of persecution, which he said had occurred since
he had gone on the bail bond of Oscar Wilde. The Marquis of Queensberry retorted: "That’s my son; I’ll fight him anywhere in three kingdoms for £10,000."
The police at first allowed the disputants to go, but the struggle was renewed in another part of Piccadilly and they were arrested.
London, May 22 — As a result of a dispute with reference to the Wilde case and the action of Lord Douglas’ father, the Marquis of
Queensberry, chastised his son, giving him a black eye, and the police arrested both. Neither the father nor the son preferred a charge against the other,
so they were merely charged with disorderly conduct. Lord Douglas banged his father’s head with an umbrella during the fight, and loudly asked whether the
Marquis of Queensberry intended to cease writing objectionable letters to Lord Douglas’ wife. The police arriving on the scene, Lord Douglas excitedly
repeated this accusation of persecution, which he said had occurred since he had gone on the bail bond of Oscar Wilde. The Marquis of Queensberry
retorted: "That’s my son. I’ll fight him anywhere in the three kingdoms for £10,000." It is rumored that Lord Alfred Douglas has gone abroad.
