To His Excellency
Govenor B Magoffin.

The Undersigned would respectfully represent That at the September Term 1861 of the Bath Circuit Court Two fines of $50. each were recovered against James Kernard for selling "liqour to a Minor" — That the Minor was a young man who had been acting for himself apparent ^w^as of age, and further that he has the appearance of being at least 24 years of age instead of being a minor and well calculated to deceive the most vigilant — We Beleive that Mr Kernard had no design to violate the law, and that it is one of the cases claiming in good faith, your clemency —
