Beriah Magoffin,

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

WHEREAS, A judgment has been rendered by the Frankfort Police Court for $750 against Denis Haly AND WHEREAS, It appears from satisfactory evidence that the case of the said Haly 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 proper to RESPITE, and do, by these presents, stay and respite the collection of said judgment save fees & costs for the term of Six months from the day hereof; and do hereby enjoin all officers to respect this RESPITE, and govern themselves accordingly.

{Seal}

In Testimony Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the Seal of the Commonwealth to be affixed, at FRANKFORT, on the 11th day of Nov, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and 61, and in the 70th year of the Commonwealth.

B. Magoffin
