Whereas a Judgment has been rendered by the Montgomery Ct. Court at its Feb. Term 1865 for $500. against Wm S Wills and Robt Hedger as Sureties, for Forfeited Recognizance of Geo Hedger: and whereas said Robt Hedger is insolvent and said Wills will have the whole of said $500. to pay: and whereas said Wm S. Wills is a poor man and has been robbed by Guerillas and compelled to leave this County by reason thereof: now we, the undersigned, respectfully petition Your Excellency Gov T. E. Bramlette to remit so much of said Judgment against said Sureties as the Law will permit.
