To His Excellency
Gov Magoffin
Dr Sir
At the present term of our Court a Judgement was rendered against P D Yeiser and Wm Boyd on a forfeited recognizance as the surities of Robt. Ruder who was charged with a misdemeaner. Ruder was tried, found guilty and fined & in a few days thereafter the Bail brought him into Court & it seems was delivered into the custody of the Court but no order showing that fact a pro tem Jugde Judge presiding, afterwards his bond was taken as forfeited & Judgt for $200 the amount thereof under the circumstances I am sure there was no intention on the part of either Ruder or his bail to evade the appearance under the bond, but it grows out of the hurry of Court & failure to to make the order or have entered his appearance. The fine imposed by the Jury was only $50. Under the circumstances I can but regard it as a case appealing to your Excellencys clemency & ask respectfully solicit it in their behalfs
I am Very
Respectfully Yours &c
