They were fined forty dollars each amounting in the whole to one hundred and twenty dollars which fine incurres to the Commonwealth of Ky After deducting the per cent of the commonwealths Attorney and costs of suit. A malicious prosecution in the name of the Commonwealth had been set on foot by an individual by the name of Daniel Geo. who was and is an enemy of these defendant (Petitioners) alleging a trespass to real and personal property, and mainly by his evidence alone they were fined. They state that they are innocent that they never committed any offense and that the whole thing was malicious, and unfounded from the beginning. They state that they are poor, and unable to pay that amount and if compelled to do so will be deprived of the means of support.

The Petitioners Ben Young Jordan Young and Randall Young state that the foregoing petition is true
