Dr Sir
I know the parties fined They are poor honest hardworking men both have families. I heard the evidence in the case. before the court. They acted indiscritely but were some what excusable
If consistent with your views I should like to see the fines remitted. The men are Law abiding citizens
Very respectfully
Wm L Barret
