At our present term of the court a young man by the name of Dunn was convicted of disturbing [reli]gious worship & his punishment fixed at a fine and imprisonment I am informed he is the son of a widow Lady who is poor and greatly distressed at her sons conduct and the imprisonment. That the offense occured in a drunken frolic & of which the young man is greatly penitent and promises reformation. I would therefore beg leave to ask of your Excellency a remission so far as the imprisonment is concerned
Very Resp
Your Obt Sert
Tho, W. Dabney
Remitted as to imprisonment
