To Hon Thomas E. Bramblette Governor of Kentucky

Your Petitioners James A Snapp & Isaac Snapp citizens of Nicholas County state that at the March term 1865 ^of the Nicholas Circuit Court^ they were fined by a Judgement of said court the sum of Three Hundred Dollars for an alledged breach of a Tavern License, They say that they were not in fact guilty of said charge, but they had no means to explain the circumstances, by proof, proved against them upon which the verdict of the jury was rendered, The costs of the prosecution & the Comission of the Commonwealths attorney amount to more than they are really able to pay in justice to their families — They pray his Excellency to remit said fine

April 12 1865,

James A Snapp
Isaac Snapp

The undersigned citizens of Nicholas County acquainted ^with^ the above named Petitioners & with their circumstances & the facts of the case referred to, have no hesitation in joining in their petition to the Executive to remit said fine; Said Petitioners are poor men in humble circumstances, but quiet peacable law-abiding Citizens, and in view of all the facts & circumstances of the case think the fine should be remitted
