To his Excellency the Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky
Your petitioner A. Cline will state that in the year of
He states that at the time he kept his bar in the house stated he did not know it was in violation of law, but from what he understood the law to be, he believed he had the right so to do under his Tavern licens, & such was the construction given by some of the Lawyers of the law, & so understood by many, & if he was guilty of a violation of law it was done ignorantly
Wherefore he asks your Excellency to remit the fine referred to,
A. Cline
We whose names are hereunto annexed state that we are acquainted with Mr A. Cline who resides in Moscow That he is a poor man & has a large family, & that the coersion of the fine out of him at this time would oppress him, & we believe it would be matter of justice under the circumstances that your Excellency should remit said fine which we ask may be done,
