To the Honorable Beriah Magoffin
Govenor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky

Your petitioners would respectfully represent to your Honor, That, Whereas one John McGuire has been fined twenty dollars ($20) in the Carter Ciruit Court for a breech of the penal laws of this state, Now your petitioners would respectfully represent that said John McGuire is a poor man with a family and we think it would be a great hardship for him to have to pay said fine We respectfully represent it as a case deserving your clemency and as dutiful citizens pray your Honor to remit said fine and we will ever pray &c.
