To His Excelency Beriah Magoffin Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. your Petitioners would respectfully represent to you that whereas James Skaggs was fined the Sum of forty Dollars by the Edmonson Equity & Criminal Court at its September Term 1859 for the Offence of Retailing Spirituous Liquors without Licence the evidence Showed that Skaggs was enduced by the Strong Admonitions of Some of his friends to Sell to them two Quarts of Liquor It being a verry cold Day we would Respectfully represent to your honor that Skaggs is a verry poore man and has a family to Support and that he is a cival and morral man and we think it is a greate hardship for him to have to pay the amount that he was Fined he's petitioned to your honor Sometime Since and you Stayed the Collection of the fine for Twelve month by his paying all Fees & cost which he did and he has also paid thirty percent of the fine It appears to be almost imposible for him to raise the money and to Incarserate him in the Jaile of our county who we think would be wholy unnecessary We thing that the cause requires your Sympathy wherefore pray your honor to remit the Remainder of Said fine and by So doing you will confer a Lasting favors on a poore Family
