Fleming Circuit Sct.

To. Hon Beriah Maggoffin Govenor of the commonwealth of Kentucky. the undersigned would represent and request, That at the last term (March 1861) of the Fleming circuit court one Patrick Oyns was found guilty of Larceny, by a jury of Fleming county and sentenced to one year in the state Penitentiary. now the proof against the prisoner was that he was drunk and that when drunk he knew nothing that he took the coat (the property stolen) at night from a gathering of a church at a supper. the only proof of his guilt was his own confession, and he said at at the same time, that "he knew he would have to sleep out that night and he wanted it to keep him warm intending to return it in the morning, although the proof was sufficient for a legal conviction, yet we think him a proper subject for executive Clemency

His past conduct in the county for five or six years has been good, and we now request your Honor that he will grant him pardon,
