To His Excellency the Governor of Kentucky.

The undersigned your petitioner, respectfully represents, that on the evening of the last august election, during the excitement usually attendant upon such occasion, under great provocation he became embroiled with one J. P. Harrison for which he was indicted and fined ^for assault & battery^ at the late march term of the Kenton circuit court in the sum of $300 — — the fine is very excessive and for which he feels himself much aggrieved, and prays your excellency to relieve him therefrom — He will add that he very much regrets the occurrence and does not believe that had it not been for the wanton and libellous attack made upon him in the columns of the Cincinnati paper ^by said Harrison^ that he would ever had any difficulty with said Harrison, or any one — Trusting that your excellency will favor his plea, he subscribes himself His most humble servant

Caleb Broomall

We have been acquainted many Years with Mr Caleb Bloomall the above petitioner and state him to be an industrious & good citizen, well and quietyl disposed and of very generous heart and disposition — and ask your Excellency to remit the fine imposed as shown above —
