Govenor Thos E. Bramlette,

We the undersigned would most respectfully state that at the May Term of the Harrison Circuit Court an indictment was found by the Grand Jury of said Court against one Guy Bryant for selling liquor to a miner by the name of Alonzo Lyter, The proof shows conclusively that at the time the liquor was sold to said Lyter that his (Lyters) Guardian & Step Father was present & drank with him, thereby giving tacit consent to his drinking the Spirits, but the Jury under the Law, & instructions of the Court were found to find said Bryant guilty of the charge in the indictment & fined him fifty Dollar, ~~the least amount fixed by the Statute~~, & the Jury whose names are hereto signed together with other citizens who Know the circumstances & were present at the trial, would hereby most respectfully recommend Mr Bryant to the clemency of the Executive.
