Sounds like he was provoked and also mentally challenged to use todays parlance. I wonder what the outcome would have been in today's courts.

Poor lad.

A Deodand.

A deodand is a thing forfeited or given to God, specifically, in law, an object or instrument that becomes forfeited because it has caused a person's death. The English common law of deodands traces back to the 11th century and was applied, on and off, until Parliament abolished it in 1846.

In 2003, a law was introduced which made it illegal for bars to sell alcohol to people who were deemed to be drunk or intoxicated. Offenders caught doing so were told they would face a fine of around £1,000 if they did. That law, however, has barely seen any prosecutions since its inception.

There was law in place prohibiting this before 2003 Lolly. The 2003 Act was just an update, or meddling with the old law, so the government could be seen to be doing (or not doing ) summat.
Spot of useless info - during WWI, a 'No treating order' came into effect, which made it an offence for someone to buy a drink for another person. This was part of a package designed to prevent drinking hampering the war effort.
