Comwth vs Daniel W. Egleston=

In this case deft. was fined at the December term for 1864 of our Kenton Circuit Court, on a charge of selling liquor to one DThomas Dickey — a minor — the fine $50 —

It was proved Dickey was in business for himself in this city — made his own contracts — and was 21 years old only 5 or 6 weeks after he drank the liquor. He also had the appearance of a person over 21.

Mr. Egleston has uniformly borne the character of a good citizen, and law-abiding man. He was evidently deceived in this matter, and erred unintentionally.

His own affidavit; the statement of J. R. Hallam Esq. (acting Comwths atty., Carpenter not having attended that court); and the affidavit of Judge S. C. Perrin are enclosed herewith. The case presented is one which, I think, merits the clemency of Your Excellency as Govr

Very Respectfully Yours
R: Richardson

His Excellency Gov. Bramlette
