To his Excellency Thomas E Bramlette Governor of Kentucky
Your Petitioner N A Thompson states that he is a Merchant of the Town of Lancaster and had the U S License, to sell Liquors by the quart and not knowing that he was also required to get a state License for such permission, and being advised by a friend, in whose knowledge he placed implicit confidence, that his U S License was all sufficient, he did sell a single quart of Brandy; for which he was indicted and has been fined Sixty Dollars. He states that he is a law abiding man, and with no motive to do wrong, he has been innocently involved in the fine aforesaid.
