To His Excellency Gov Thos E Bramlette

Your Petitioners represent that James B Chinn was fined for the offense of unlawfuly discharging a pistol in the corporate limits of Harrodsburg, said judgment being rendered in the Police Court of said Town, It was proven on the trial by witnesses that they beleived the firing to have been accidental & not wantonly or maliciously done- Said Chinn is a poor mechanic, moral & industrious, recently married & needs all the proceeds of his labour for the support of his family-

We beleive that your clemency could be judiciously exercised in this case & therefore humbly pray for a remission of this said fine
