EXAMINATION OF KEARNEY FOR THE ATTEMPT TO MURDER
JOHN LOCH, ESQ.

The Justice-room was crowded to-day. The Magistrates in
attendance were the LORD MAYOR, Sir C. MARSHALL, Alder-
men WILSON, COWAN, and WINCHESTER. The prisoner was
placed at the bar, and is of sallow complexion, with a vague-
ness of look, and perfectly tranquil.
Mr. Lawford, the Solicitor to the East India Company,
said he attended for the Company to charge the man at the bar
with attempting to murder John Loch, Esq., Deputy Chairman.
It wa, the practice of the Governor and Deputy-Governor to
attend early, and the prisoner had an interview with the De-
puty ; but after a few minutes the bell was rung, and a cry
of murder was heard. The messengers in attendance ran in
and found the Deputy struggling with the prisoner, and
bleeding copiously. They rescued the Deputy, and the knife
with which the wound was inflicted was picked up. Mr. Law-
ford here produced the knife. It is a Malay knife, which does
not close up, pointed at the end, and mounted with silver.
The knife was stained with blood. Mr. Lawford continued,
and said the surgeon was in attendance still on Mr. Loch, and
it was therefore requested to remand the prisoner for a week.
Mr. Tudor, a messenger in attendance, was then sworn,
and, in addition to the evidence of Mr. Lawford, said, that on
hearing a cry of " Murder !" he rushed in, saw the Deputy
struggling with the prisoner, who had grasped the throat of
Mr. Loch, apparently to strangle him ; his hand was over the
wound, which was bleeding profusely. The prisoner was in
about ten minutes, and after he was removed from the room
the Deputy fainted. He did not see the knife till after the
man was removed.

Mr. Raymond corroborated the evidence given by Tudor,
and said the wound was about t►co inches long. On removing
the prisoner, he said " Don't ill-use me ; I have done it, and
1 must suffer for it." The knife was found on the washhand-
stand. The Deputy could not speak except to cry " Murder,"
and afterwards he fainted. The man, when he went in, had
the Deputy by the throat over the wound.—The prisoner was
then remanded.
