To his Exellency Governor Robinson of the State of Kentucky.

The ^undersigned^ citizen and Freeholders of the city of Newport Campbell County Ky. Respectfully represent that F. Brutsche was found guilty of the offense of selling liquor to Minors, at the last August term of the Campbell Circuit Court. That the said F. Brutsche is a respectable and law abiding Citizen of Newport, that the law under which he was fined is a hard one, and especialy so in this case where the young man, who was the prosecuting witness, was only a few months under the age of twenty one. Considering the foregoing facts the undersigned do therefor respectfully pray your Exellency to remit the commonwealths portion of his fine which the think would be only doing common justice

Newport Ky. Nov. 7^th 1862
Robt B MCrackin Mayor
M Cook city marshal Elect
X. Sine, City Clerk

I respectfully recommend that the fine in this case be remitted
