Louisa, Ky.
To His Excellency
Gov. Bramlette
At the present Term of the Laurance Circuit Court two Judgments went by default against Mr N. D. Redhead for $60 each for keeping a Tippling house. Nothing could be more incorrect than the truth of this so far as the actual tippling is concerned. Mr R. is a druggist here, & confesses that on a number of occasions he sold liquor by the quart, not drunk upon the premises, without a doctorswritten request, & before he had his merchant's license, (& which he immediately got when he found it to be against the law) We are satisfied that he never in any instance sold any liquor by the small, drank on the premises, for he is especially careful about such things. Therefore we respectfully ask that you remit the fine in these two cases — assuring you that this is a really a merritorious case, as Mr Redhead is a gentleman of standing & true worth, & such action would recieve the universal approbation of the public.
