We the undersigned Petitioners of Grant County Kentucky would respectfully represent that One James Salyers a Citizen of said County was indicted in the Grant Circuit Court for the offense of an assault and at the October Term of Said Court 1865 He was fined the Sum of SeventyfiveDollars We would represent that he is a verry poor man, Just married and not able to make his fine to the Commonwealth and we beleve his case is one that demands Your Clemency. He was also fined at the May Term 1864 in the Sum of Fifty Dollors for an assault, on One Merrill We further believe from all the Circumstances that the last is also a Case demanding Your Clemency, and unless those fines are remitted, the deft must necessarily be much embarrassed, He is a Young Man, & has Served his Country well in the present war, agst the rebelion, We hope You will exercise Your Clemency & remit Said fine and allow the Young man to Commence in the world untrammeled & we will ever pray, & &,
