Carlisle, Ky,
Hon B, Magoffin,
Sir, Our friend Wm Still became security upon a replevin bond for Michel Burns, who was fined at the last term of the Nicholas Circuit Court $50, for carrying concealed deadly weapons, Since the bond was given Burns has died ^without any means or property,^ and Mr Still now asks that the amount thereof may be remitted. I respectfully unite in that request and ask that Mr Still may be released, and the amount of the bond remitted,
Respectfully,
Your Obt Svt
We, citizens of Nicholas County, recommend to the Governor, the propriety of remitting the above.
