To the Hon. B Magoffin, Governor of the State of Kentucky:

Your Petitioners respectfully represent that at the present term of the Kenton Circuit Court, Joseph Blackwell was found guilty of keeping a tippling house for three months, and a fine imposed of $200 in default of the payment of which he now lies in Jail. Blackwell has a family and the case is a very hard one. We respectfully solicit a release of so much of the fine as does not enure to the commonwealth's Attorney.

Members of the Jury.
