Benton Ky.
Decr 1860
To His Excellency
Beriah Magoffin, Govenor of Kentucky

The undersigned Citizens of Marshall County Kentucky, would most respectfully represent and state to your Excellency That at the September Term of the Marshall Equity & Criminal Court 1860 there was a Judgment rendered against William Clark of our County for Retailing Spirituous Liquors to the amount of Twenty Dollars — Now ^we^ will State that it was understood and generally beleived that Mr Clark had had a legislative act passed authorizing him thus to sell without a license, and that he thought he was not violating the law — in which however he was mistaken,

Mr Clark is a blind man and has been unable to see for a number of years — has a wife and Six ^small^ children to support — he has no means except as arises from the labor of his wife & little children

It may appear to be a small amt to present to your Excellency, but with him it is a matter of importance —

Mr Clark has quit selling liquor, and he is a steady honorable man and

In Consideration of all the facts we pray that Your excellency remit said fine & as in duty &c we will ever pray &c
