Beriah Magoffin,

GOVERNOR OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY,
TO ALL WHO SHALL SEE THESE PRESENTS, GREETING:

WHEREAS, A judgment has been rendered by the Floyd Circuit Court for $60 against Joshua Bingham AND WHEREAS, It appears from satisfactory evidence that the case of the said Bingham presents strong considerations for the interposition and indulgence of the Executive:

Now, Know Ye, That in consideration of the premises, and by virtue of the power vested in me by the Constitution, I have thought it proper to RESPITE, and do, by these presents, stay and respite the collection of said judgment except fees & costs for the term of Twelve months from the date hereof; and do hereby enjoin all officers to respect this RESPITE, and govern themselves accordingly.

{SEAL OF KENTUCKY
UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL}

In Testimony Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the Seal of the Commonwealth to be affixed, at FRANKFORT, on the 21st day of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and Sixty, and the 69th year of the Commonwealth.

BY THE GOVERNOR: B. Magoffin

Tho. B. Monroe Jr, SECRETARY OF STATE.
