They, therefore, respectfully petition your Excellency to remit the amount of said fine coming to the Commonwealth, feeling that they have already paid enough to punish them sufficiently for the offense of which they have been adjudged & of which they admit they were guilty.

The defts have paid to me as trustee of the jury fund one hundred & fifty dollars of the fine also the costs in full in the Case referred to in their petition
