Mr Stoneham, on behalf of Lord Douglas, said the latter and a friend were walking along Piccadilly without thinking of the Marquis. The Marquis had apparently just sent the telegram, which had been received by Lord Douglas, congratulating him on the verdict, and adding, "Taylor guilty ; Wilde's turn to-morrow." The Marquis had written letters to the wife of Lord Douglas containing false charges against Lord Douglas and members of his family, and though he had promised to stop writing these letters, he had not done so. Yesterday Lord Douglas asked the Marquis to cease writing these obscene and filthy letters to his wife, and the Marquis hit him in the face, and a fight resulted.
