We whose names are hereto subscribed Humbly petitioning request & pray Beriah Magoffin ^Governor of Kentucky^ to remit a fine of $40 adjudged against Ms Matilda Hobbs by the Nelson Circuit Court at the present
The case recommends itself to executive cemency in this — that Ms Hobbs is an old and very respectable lady and there was no intent on her part to make a breach of the law — the only testimony against her was her own son a youth who resides with his mother — and the fine being fixed by the statute the jury had no discretion as to amount — we ask a remisson except as to the Commonwealths attorneys part of same —
