His Excy Gov. Magoffin
N S. Chiles states that he executed a bond as bail for the appearance of A V. Vertner before the City Court of Lexington to answer a charge of assault & battery. Your petitioner believed when he signed the bond, that said Vertner would appear as required, but he failed to do so, and has left the Commonwealth, with the intention, as your petitioner believes never to return. Although the amount of the bond is small, yet your petitioner is not able to pay it without serious inconvenience.
Whereupon he respectfully asks a remission of the penalty
N S Chiles
The undersgined believe the facts stated within, and concur in the prayer of the petitioner.
