Hon. C, S. Morehead Governor of Kentucky.

We The undersigned citizens of Marshall County respectfully represent to your Excellency that the case of our fellow citizen John H. Dix is one of those hardships under the law which can only be relieved by and through the exercise of your executive clemency. and which we, — knowing all the various circumstances attending the case & too numerous to be Stated in detail — know and represent to be one that does in truth & Justice & right need and require the aid of the executive clemency. Said John H. Dix, at the March Term 1858 of the Marshall Equity and Criminal Court, was fined fifty dollars upon a charge of Selling Spiritous liquors to a slave the property of John L. Burradell without a written ^order^ from the owner &c of said slave. Written orders from Said Burradell signed by him were produced at the trial, but not being dated were held inadmissable under the act of February 27, 1856, Session Acts 1855 — 6. Vol. 1. p. 42. which requires the order to be also dated. The other requisitions of the act were complied with, We therefore pray for the remission of said fifty dollar fine.
