As one of the oddest of British judgements, although Kinloch was sentenced to life imprisonment on 15 July, Dr Farquharson offered to hold him securely in his own home rather than in prison, and the judge accepted this on 17 July.
[3] His house at this time was at Worlds End Close on the Royal Mile.
[4] However, Farquharson disappears from the Post Office Directories for several years; presumably to hold Kinloch in a less urban environment.
[5] In 1793 Farquharson was elected a member of the Harveian Society of Edinburgh and served as President in 1796 and 1805.
In 1802 he delivered the Harveian oration to the Society entitled "Account of Vesalius".
