That after he had discharged the duty he drank Spiritous liquor to a greater extent than he ought to have done and without having any enmity toward the person at whose bar he drank he quarreled with Said person and having been ^previously^ furnished a pistol by the officer in Shelby County who required him to act as guard he pulled out the pistol having no intention to Shoot with it whatever; and Some disturbance was created although no one was injured. Your Petitioner is unable to pay the fine and will State that he regrets extremely that he Suffered himself to be guilty of Said Conduct
