To his Excellency
Tho^s E. Bramlette
Governor of Kentucky.

We the undersigned citizens of Jefferson and Shelby Counties respectfully ask and petition your Excellency to interpose the executive clemency in behalf of M^rs Anne Netherton a resident of Long Run in Jefferson County by remitting the penalty of One Hundred Dollars for which she is now, through that "Sympathy so common to woman," bound to the Commonwealth. — A black man named Peter who had formerly belonged to her and was still living with her had been arrested for marking a hog and claiming it as his — not his own — He was tried in an examining Court by esquires Conn and Hobbs found guilty ^of Felony^ and held in a bond of One Hundred Dollars for his appearance M^rs Netherton went on his bond to keep him from Jail. He has now left for parts unknown, We therefore pray your Excellency to remit the payment of the Bond in behalf of this old lady now seventy years of age and poorly able to sustain so great a loss.
