He was fined a quid ($2.80) for his violence, but the sentiment that prompted it-disgust at a young peer who had dared to call his Queen a prig in print (TIME, Aug. 12) -was echoed even in the words of the sentencing magistrate, who declared that "95% of the population of this country are disgusted and offended by what was written, but your action only made a most unsavory episode more squalid...
