TO ALL WHO SHALL SEE THESE PRESENTS, GREETING:

WHEREAS, judgment has been rendered by the Kenton Circuit Court for $60 against John Dempsey, for keeping a tipling house AND WHEREAS, It appears from satisfactory evidence that the case of said John Dempsey presents strong considerations for the interposition and indulgence of the Executive:

{Seal}
In Testimony Whereof, I have caused these letters to be made patent, and the Seal of the Commonwealth to be hereunto affixed. Done at FRANKFORT, the 18^th day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and 63, and in the 71^st year of the Commonwealth.
