To His Excellency Thos E Bramlette
Govenor of Kentucky

We the undersigned your Petitioners would Respectfully State that at the February Term of the Rockcastle Circuit Court 1859, there was a Judgement in favor of the Commonwealth Rendered against John Linville for the Sum of Twenty dollars, on charge of Retailing Spirtits. and that there is now in the hands of the Sheriff of this (RockCastle) County an Execution for said fine, We would further State that the Said John Linville is a poor Man and has a large family to support who are dependant upon him for their Sustenance. And that ^He^ the Said ^Linville^ cannot pay said fine without great ilconvenience to himself and injury to his family, and We therefore most Respectfully ask that said fine be Remitted as we are satisfied his is a case that demands the interposition of Executive Clemency.
