To His Excellency Thos E Bramlette
Governor of Kentucky

Your petitioners, citizens of Woodford county, very respectfully represent, that on the 12^th day of Nov. 1864, W C Hall a citizen of said county entered as bail in the Jefferson circuit court in a recognizance for Six hundred Dollars for the appearance of his son Thos S Hall in that court charged with the offence of Larceny or having been committed in Woodford county; that at a subsequent term of said court said bond was forfeited, The accused not having surrendered himself in accordance with its requirements, and summons has now issued on the recognizance against W C Hall, The bail, returnable to the 1^st day of the May term of said court; They state further that W C Hall is a very poor man with a family which he has to support by his daily labor — he is a quiet industrious citizen — and is not able to pay the amount of the forfeiture ^as They believe.^ They understand that he has lost about $400.⁰⁰ worth of property since executing said bond. They believe that his is a just and proper case for the interposition of executive clemency —

They therefore, very respectfully, and earnestly,

petition your excellency to remit the forfeiture of said recognizance as to W C Hall the bail —
