London, May 22. - At the Marlborough Street Police Court this morning the Marquis of Queensberry and his son, Lord Douglas of Hawick,
were bound over each in $500 bail to keep the peace. Both the Marquis and his son were fashionably dressed. The Marquis wore a rose in his buttonhole, and
did not show any sign of yesterday's fight. On the other hand, his son had a black eye. In his defense the Marquis of Queensberry said his son, Lord
Douglas of Hawick, came running at him and pushed him against a store window, speaking at the top of his voice. The Marquis added that he struck his son
in self-defense. Counsel for Lord Douglas of Hawick said the latter and a friend were walking in Piccadilly, not thinking of the Marquis, when the
encounter between Lord Douglas and his father took place. Counsel added that Lady Douglas of Hawick yesterday received the following telegram: "I must
congratulate you on the result, but I cannot congratulate you on Percy's appearance. He looks like a dug-up corpse. I fear there is too much madness in
kissing. Taylor is guilty. It will be Wilde’s turn tomorrow." It was also asserted the Marquis had written to Lady Douglas false charges against her
husband and members of the family.
The second trial of Oscar Wilde was begun in the Old Bailey Court. Wilde was very restless and looked worried and careworn. The
