To His Excellency Gov Magoffin
The undersigned citizens of Madison county would respectfully state, that Martin Turpin a citizen of Estill County was find by confession of Judgment twenty dollars & costs at the last
It was a slight offence, & not usual with him — he is not a gambler — but an honest hard-working man with a family. He is poor & cannot well meet this debt —
We think it a case for Executive clemency & respectfully petition your Excellency to remit the same.
