It is not Lord Alfred Douglas, but Lord Douglas of Howich, with whom the quarrel occurred. He accused his father of sending an
insulting letter to Lady Douglas, because he was one of Wilde's sureties. The Marquis of Queensberry shouted out that he was anxious to renew the fight
for ten thousand pounds, and addressing the crowd, said he disowned his son. Both were bound over in sureties of five hundred each, to keep the peace.
Wilde's trial is now proceeding.
