Difference
It was not Lord Alfred Douglas, but Lord Douglas of Hawick, with whom the quarrel occurred. The latter accused his father of sending insulting letters to Lady Douglas because he was one of Wilde's sureties. Queensberry shouted out that he was anxious to renew the fight for L10,000 and addressing the crowd said that he disowned his son. Both were bound over in sureties of L500 each to keep the peace.
