Those of you with Kinloch ancestors might be interested in a book that I recently had a chance to look at. The title is: "The trial of Sir Archibald Gordon Kinloch, of Gilmerton, bart., for the murder of Sir Francis Kinloch, bart., his brother-german." Printed in Edinburgh by C. Denovan for J. Elder and G. G. and J. Robinson, London, 1795. The Library of Congress Control Number is 28007472, and a copy is held in the rare books of the Law Library Reading Room of the Library of Congress. To make a long story short, Sir Archibald served in the military in St. Lucia and survived an infection that killed 2,800 men out of a 5,000 man contingent. He was never the same mentally though. One night he shot Sir Francis who died about a day later. The servants held Sir Archibald and he was eventually arrested and tried. He was found guilty of the murder, but insane and the judge sentenced him to a mental institution with the provision that if someone wanted to care for him and would pledge 5,000 pounds (I think that is the correct amount) that Archibald could be released to their care. Sure enough, an Edinburgh surgeon made the pledge and cared for Archibald. A very civil ending to a precedent setting trial! Richard Robertson
