We the undersigned petitioners would respectfully represent, to Your excellency that at the August Term 1862 of the Hancock Circuit Court one John Egloff a German was Indicted by the Grand Jury in three several cases two of which Indictments were for selling Spirits to Negroes and one for selling to a minor. — They state that by an arrangement that made between M^r Egloff & the attorney for the Commonwealth that a Judgment was entered in one of the Cases agst him for $50. & $10 in each of the other cases. —

They would respectfully state to Your excellency that Mr Egloff is a verry old man and a large family dependent upon him for a support and he is verry poor. — and without a home & has to depend upon his own exertions for a support for himself and family and that it would be a great hardship to enforce the collections of s^d Judgment upon him that [...] he is not familliar with the laws & usages of the country — — They bwould threfore respectfully request humbly pray your excellency to remit said fine against s^d Egloff & they will ever pray &^c
