To his Excellency
Gov Magoffin
Dr Sir

The undersigned Petitioners state that Alex Bradshaw was fined $30.00/00 at the Feb 1861 Term of our Court We think that your Excellency ought to remit said fine. First because the letter of the Commonwealths attorney) accompanying this) states that said fine should be remitted. Secondly because the young man was not according to the evidence as we believe guilty and if guilty his youth and his age as well as his habits should release him
