Richard made some deal with Jacob, which i think has to do with him not aging.. so i doubt richard wanted Jacob to die. Richard thought that Locke was Locke and not someone who was going to kill Jacob, right? Unless Ben told Richard on the way to see Jacob.. Richard was shocked to see Locke fall out of the box at the end of the season, so he did not know, even if he did know that Locke was trying to kill Jacob, that Locke was not Locke.
