Felix Mion was fined twelve months ago in three cases — for selling liquor to slaves, one case thirty five dollars — one twenty five dollars & one Fifty dollars — The two first he has paid — The last he wants the Governor to remit — I was counsel for Mion, and although the proof was against him, yet it was plain that he was ignorant of the law upon the Subject — He is a foreigner, can only speak part of our language — had but recently come to the Country — He is quiet, peaceable & poor man with a wife, and two small children, & his wifes mother to support — and is industrious & honest — To remit the fine would in my Judgt be a proper exercise of Executive Clemency.
