Your Petitioners would most respectfully represent that at the
They would state that they verily believe said Bullock was at the time of the commission of the Crimes for which he was [...]ted Indicted was a Monomaniac, that he had lived in many the County of Montgomery in the same neighborhoold for many years & had until some ^short^ time before the commission of said offence maintained a good character was very industrious
and had really been a thrifty man — but for some time before this charge was made Bullock's health had failed him & his intimate friends had discovered a mental alienation in him. Wherefore they pray your Excellency to interpose and to remit so much of the forfeiture as by the constitution & laws you have the power to do & we will pray &C.
