To His Excellency Beriah McGoffin
Governor of the commonwealth of Kentucky
your petitioners citizens of Trimble county Kentucky would respectfully represent that William B. Overton a citizen of Trimble county Kentucky was fined the sum of fifty Dollars before J. H. Lane Justice of the peace for carry conceald Weapons. The said Overton and your petitioners pray your Honor to remit said fine because of the reasons herein set forth, 1st that the James Reed the Individual with whom he had a fight was a much larger and younger man and had as he beleived premeditated an attack on him and did much beat and abuse him. 2d because he the said Overton is a poor man and has a wife and family to support, and thirdly that he is a peacable unoffending citizen and an industrious and hard working man, and one who stands well as a moral man in our community and it would be hard to take from him and family their support and as he has never been guilty before of a breach of the peace, we Humbly pray your honor to remit said fine and as in duty bound will ever pray &c &c.
