To his Excellency the Govenor of the commonwealth of Kentucky Carles. S. Morehead.

Your petitioners would respectfully represent that some time since John W Caldwell the son of Isabella Caldwell was arrested upon a charge of a breach of the peace and recongized for his appearance at the Hickman Equity and Criminal court at its December Term for 1858 and his mother Mrs Isabella Caldwell became his security. And the said John. W. Caldwell failed to appear at the court to which he was recognised and consequently his bond was taken as forfeited. Now your petitioners would state to force Mrs Caldwell to pay this bond would be very oppressive upon her and greatly distress her and would be taking from her, her means of support and that of her infant Children when in their judgement no actual good could or would result from the same. They therefore ask at your hands that you exert executive clemency in her behalf by releasing her from the payment of the f Bond-
