We the undersigned Jurors who tried the case of the Comwth against Jno Phelps for carrying concealed weapons & of which we convicted him at the present August term of the Montgomery circuit court Would ask Gov Magoffin to remit the same. It appeared on the trial that Phelps had contracted to sell the pistol which was owned by his son & had taken it to the place where we was found with it concealed on his person to delever it to the purchaser & get it out of his family — but we were driven under our oaths to convict under the hard law as laid down by the court August 17th 1860
