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

WHEREAS, A judgment has been rendered by the Jefferson Criminal Court for $500.. Five Hundred Dollars against Henry Hudson

AND WHEREAS, It appears from satisfactory evidence that the case of the said Henry Hudson 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 [...] fees & costs excepted 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 27th day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty two and in the 70th year of the Commonwealth.

B. Magoffin

BY THE GOVERNOR:
Nat Gaither Jr, Secretary of State.
