We are of the opinian from the testimoney in the Cause that the young man (Swang) at Last did not know that he was Violating the

Law was not pretending to act for himself but only geting wages by the month doing business for another whereby thought at the time was authorized to Sell Liquors under these Circumstances and knowing that he is quite a youth without means to pay a fine and of poore but respectable family we would therefore most Respectfully petition your Excellency to Remit his said fines
