State of Kentucky Henry County
To the Honorable Governor of Kentucky J. F Robinson

The justices of the Peace in and for Henry County had a fine of ten dollars ($10) imposed on each by the honorable Circuit Court at its April term 1863 for failing to make due reports to the trustee of the jury fund at previous courts, The justices your petitioners do not deny that they failed to make reports as required by law but claim that they have failed with no intent to offer contempt to the authorities, but owing in part to the habit of the circuit Judge adjourning his court for the last two or three years on the first and second days of its term, thereby suspending the ordinary judicial business. As well Political disturbances, The justices of the said county petion and pray your honor to remit them the said fine of ten dollars as Stated above and dismiss the same from the order of the court imposing the same. We the undersigned member of the bar at New Castle petition that the same be Remitted
