London, May 22.—Yesterday’s report that the Marquis of Queensberry and his son, Lord Alfred Douglas, were engaged in a fight in
Piccadilly was erroneous in respect of the younger participant in the affray. It was the Marquis’ elder son, Lord Douglas of Hawick, who was his
antagonist. Both were arrested in the Marlboro-Street Police Court this morning and placed in the dock to answer a charge of disorderly conduct and
fighting on the street.
London, May 22.- Yesterday's report that the Marquis of Queensberry and his son, Lord Alfred Douglas, were engaged in a fight in
Piccadilly was erroneous as regards the part of the younger participant in the affray. It was the Marquis' elder son, Lord Douglas of Hawick, who was his
antagonist. Both were arraigned in the Marlboro street police court this morning and placed in the dock together to answer a charge of disorderly conduct
and fighting in the street. The Marquis said his son was the aggressor, having first assaulted him, and that he only struck back in self-defence.
The Marquis said his son was the aggressor, having first assaulted him, and that he only struck back in self defence. Both the Marquis
and his son were bound in sureties of £500 each to keep the peace for six months.
The Marquis, who wore a fresh boutonniere, and presented a very jaunty appearance, admitted that he had offered to fight his son, Lord
Douglas of Hawick, anywhere or at any time, for £10,000. Lord Douglas showed a very black eye as the result of his encounter with his father, but the
latter did not show a mark.
The Marquis, who wore a fresh boutonniere and presented a very jaunty appearance admitted that he had offered to fight his son, Lard
Douglas of Hawick, any where or at any time for £10,000. Lord Douglas showed a very black eye as the result of his encounter with his father, but the
latter did not show a mark. The crowd cheered the Marquis as he drove away, in a cab, and as earnestly hissed and hooted Lord Douglas.
