Gov — Bramlett
Dear Sir

Jas. T. Lowton was fined at the present term of this court $75. for a failure to post in his room as a Tavern Keeper the rates priced by the county court.

I know Mr Lowton to be an explanry, quiket, and law abdiding citizen and would not knowingly violate, or disregard any of the provisions of the penal statutes

He made no defence and asks that his case may be emposed of under the circumstances according to the clemency of the laws. If his case is within the range of Executive power I should be pleased, and think the interest of the community would not be impaired, if the fine can be remitted

Most respectfully
your obdt servt
W P Fowler

I concur in the above
Jno Barret
