The driver first hit a statue and then hit a girl who had fallen asleep on the ground. The judge imposed an exemplary punishment on him: they would hang him at the door of the bar where he had drunk himself and leave the corpse there so that the scavengers would make him disappear.

He was arrested for the first time in 1897 for driving a car driver drunk. George Smith, a London taxi driver, was fined with 25 schillings for hitting a building with a taxi, the Security Department has reported.
