Blandville Ky. Decr 1st 1863 Govr Bramlitte Sir

I have been requested by the parties interested to state you the facts of a case, in which I understand application will be made to you for remission of a fine. At the last Septr Term of the Ballard circuit court a fine of Two Hundred Dollars was imposed on Jos McCaully & W. Garrett for suffering gaming in their house in Blandsville.

It was prooen on the trial that parties had played cards in their house at which treats of liquor, cigars, oysters &c were played for and paid for by the losers and that the proprietors sd the McCaulley & Garrett knew that said treats were played for- It was proven that the sd Garrett & McCaulley allways forbid the playing for money and would not allow it in their house -- I believe that the defendants did not believe that they were violating the law, and They are poor men with families -- I believe they violated the law ignorantly --

Respectfully &c

C. S. Marshall
