Hammersmith Ghost murder case

The Hammersmith Ghost murder case of 1804 set a legal precedent in the UK regarding self-defence: whether someone could be held liable for their actions even if they were the consequence of a mistaken belief.
Near the end of 1803, a number of people claimed to have seen and even been attacked by a ghost in the Hammersmith area of London, a ghost believed by locals to be the spirit of a suicide victim. On 3 January 1804, a member of one of the armed patrols set up in the wake of the reports shot and killed a plasterer, Thomas Millwood, mistaking the white clothes of Millwood's trade for a ghostly apparition. The culprit, a 29-year-old excise officer named Francis Smith, was found guilty of murder and sentenced to death, commuted to one year's hard labour.
The issues surrounding the case were not settled for 180 years, until a Court of Appeal decision in 1984.
==Death of Thomas Millwood==
In late 1803 a number of people claimed to have seen, and some to have been attacked by, a ghost in the Hammersmith area.〔 Local people said the ghost was of a man who had committed suicide the previous year, and had been buried in Hammersmith churchyard. The contemporary belief was that suicide victims should not be buried in consecrated ground, as their souls would not then be at rest. On 3 January 1804 one of the armed citizens patrolling the area, 29-year-old excise officer Francis Smith, shot and killed a white figure in Black Lion Lane, plasterer Thomas Millwood, who was wearing the normal white clothing of his trade: "linen entirely white, washed very clean, a waistcoat of flannel, apparently new, very white, and an apron, which he wore round him".
