To his Excellency Thomas E Bramlette, Governer
The undersigned respectfully states, that at the present term of the Nicholas Circuit Court, he was fined $20 for playing a game of cards, on the premises of John Hughes & Co, in an old abandoned house, without the consent of the owner. Four of us engaged in the game and only myself was fined, the rest being acquitted. We played only a short time, and when we quit the parties were even no money being lost or won in the final result, and not more than one dollar in all being ventured, My child died on the day of the trial and I was engaged in attending its burial when the trial came off and could not be present. I am poor and respectfully ask that you will remit so much of said fine as you may have it in your power to do, and I promise never to do so again,
I respectfully unite in asking that the Governer will comply with Mr Hughes' request and remit said fine,
