James Hartley murdered George Scott.
They were all soldiers and had been drinking in the Black Lion pub in Bayswater. At around 10pm they decided to leave but George Scott insisted on a parting pot. They were told that it would cost one penny for each pot and James Hartley was heard to say 'he would see him d-------d first'. James Hartley was a private soldier in the third regiment of gaurds.
