To His Excellency.
B. Magoffin.

The Undersigned Citizens of Bath, would respectfully represent, That at the March Term 1862. of the Bath Circuit Court, a fine was recovered against Thos R. Hill for $34,xx for standing a Jack without a License.

We further represent that said Hill is a good citizen and had no purpose of violating the law, beleiving that he had a right to procure the license at any time before the end of the year and actually did apply to the Clerk for the License but too late to be avilable — March 20th 1862
