We, the undersigned citizens of Powel County and State of Kentucky do hereby petition your Excellency, Thomas E. Bramlette, to remit so much of the forfeited recognizance in the case of the Commonwealth vs Wm,, Bowen and Wm S. Stone as relates to the failure of Robert Wilbourne to appear in discharge of said recognizance. The amount of his seperate Bail, so forfeited, being Five Hundred Dollars. We do this, believing that it would be unjust, and would constitute a "hard case" to compel Wm,Bowen to pay it, or any portion of it.
