To His Excellency Gov Thos. E. Bramblett

The Undersigned Citizens of Bath County would respectfully represent that C. W. Honaker was at the December Term 1863 of the Bath Circuit Court fined for silling spiritious liquors to a minor one Geo. Trumbo. That said Trumbo although under age would be taken for over 21. That the offence was committed about the time the act against such offenses took effect and ^at^ that time said Honaker did not know such an act had been passed. We are confident he did not intend to violate the law and that the fine ought to be remitted-
