To His Excellency Beria Magoffin
Governor of Kentucky

your Petitioners would say to your Excellency that William Lampkin was fined at the last term of the Powell Circuit Court one hundred Dollars under an indictment, and is now, lying in Jail under said Judgment

Mr Lumpkins is a very poor man and cannot pay said Judgment and has no relative that is able to bail him or replevy the [...] in order that he might thereby get out of Jail and will have ^to^ Continue in Jail till said fine is paid, unless said fine is remitted.

we therefore pray your Excellency, to remit said fine. believing that it is the wish of all acquainted with the Circustances
