The The court deferred his sentence.
The Marquis of Queensberry met his son, Lord Alfred Douglas, in Piccadilly, shortly after the conclusion of the Taylor trial, when he
stopped him and abused him roundly for continuing to uphold Oscar Wilde. A vehement exchange of violent words ensued and the quarrel was rapidly reaching
the point of blows when the police broke through the large crowd which collected and stopped the row. Both Lord Queensberry and his son were arrested and
taken to the Vine street police station, followed by a mob. After a short detention at the station they were both released. Another report has it that the
Marquis and Lord Alfred fought in the street with sticks and fists, the son getting much the worst of it, showing several contusions in the face. The
Marquis upon leaving the police station showed traces of having been engaged in an affray. He was cheered by the crowd until he drove off in a cab.
