To his Excellency the Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky
Your petitioner Thomas Stone will state that some time since he was indicted in this Court for retailing in three cases, and at the present
He states that last Summer he was at a Barbicue in this County where a man was retailing spirits under an Arbor & he having to be absent employed this petitioner to sell for him until he returned, which he did, selling probably half a Dozen drinks.
At the time he did it he was not apprised that it was in violation of any law, seeing the man there selling he supposed he had a right so to do,
He states that he is poor & not able to pay said fine without oppressing himself & family,
He therefore asks to be returned of the same.
Thos Stone
We are well acquainted with Mr Stone, & state that he is a peaciable, Quiet man & law abiding Citizen, & have no doubt he violated the law ignorantly & would recommend him to Executive Clemency.
