We the undersigned citizens of Ohio County Ky. would ~~would~~ respectfully represent to his Excellency Thomas E. Bramlett Govenor of Ky. That at the March Term 1864 of the Ohio Circuit Court there was three judgments obtained by the Commonwealth against James W. Daniel.

viz= For permitting gaming in his hourse fine $75- and costs. Breach of tavern bond $150- & cost, Permitting gaming on his premises $75- & costs, one half of said judgments have been remitted by your honor. That said Daniel has paid all the costs in the prosecutions, including attorneys 30 percent. That we are well acquainted with said Daniel and know him to be a very poor man. having but very little property if any at all and a large family to support. that if he is made to pay the fine he will be entirely broken up and his family brought to want. That he lives in a very poor portion of the County and may possibly have been guilty as charged, but if guilty we believe he was ignorant of the fact. that he did not violate the law intentionally. We would now respectfully request that you remit the remainder of the judgmetns.
