Governor of Kentucky,
The undersigned would respectfully represent, that at the late term of the Kenton circuit court, Samuel Condell, was upon his own plea of Guilty, fined the sum of $5000 for Illegal voting, The facts are that Condell resided in the southern portion of the city, until a short time before the Election, when he removed to the Northern part, not however crossing the Line of Magisterial District, when the Election came on he voted at the Northern precinct of the first Magisterial District, in total ignorance as we believe of the Law dividing said District — we therefore respectfully your Excellency to remit the fine,
