We petition Your Excellency Thos E Bramlette Governor of Kentucky to remit a fine of $30. against Hiram J. Pierce for keeking a Tipling House, Judgment rendered at the March Term 1864 of the Pulaski Circuit Court.

Mr Pierce is a clever, but a very poor man — having lost his house and all his household furniture by fire during the court - and has a large family to support.

We ask your Excellency to remit this fine, as an act of Justice and humanity. The prosecution against Pierce was Set on foot through malice.
