Shelby County Kentucky
To his excellency Gov. T. E. Bramlette

Mr E. M. Wilson of this county was fined on the 8th inst by a jury before Geo. L. Harbison a Justice of the Peace for this County the sum of Twenty five dollars for an assault on T. G. Doolin — A portion of us heard the testimony and others of us from what we know of the case and the character of Testimony believe that the fine was altogether unjust — We therefore beg your excellency to remit the same except the costs —

The said Doolin was the main witness, supported by the testimony of two returned rebel soldiers he being a sympathiser himself, and we believe the whole thing was the result of prejudice

I do not know the facts, but Doolin is a Contentious man. & was not a competent witness, & I would be glad if you would remit the fine
