The Marquis of Queensberry and His Son are Bound Over to Keep the Peace.
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 arraigned in the Marlborough Street Police court this morning, and placed in the dock together to answer a charge of disorderly conduct and fighting on the street. The Marquis said his son was the aggressor, having first assaulted him and that he only struck back in self-defence.
