To his CaExcellency Beriah McGoffin Governor of Ky your petitioner [...] ^Simeon^ Grumamier respectfully represents that at the last May Term of the Owen Circuit Court he was indicted for selling some whiskey to a boy who was under the age of 21 years and at the present Nov^r Term 1861 of said Court your petitoner under advice plead guilty to the indictment and his fine was assessed to $50 and a judgt rendered therefor — He says that he was altogether ignorant that such a law existed but in fact he did not sell the liquor to the boy: the boy asked for the whiskey alledging that he had been sent to get it by his father to put in a camphor bottle but your petitioner refused to let him have it and went out on his farm to work and in his abscence the boy previaled on the wife of petitioner who fnially let him have it, and this is the whole offence:

Your petitioner is poor & the payment of this money will greatly embarrass him and he considers the circumstances such as justifies the interposition of the Executive and he prays for a remission of said fine & he will &C.
