To His Excellency Bramlette Govrenor of Kentucky

We the undersigned citizens of Lyon & Caldwell Counties Kentucky would respectfully state that at the December Term 1863 of the Lyon Circuit Court Martin K Asbridge was tried on two indictments ^& convicted^ and fined Fifty -- Dollars in each case for selling Liquor to a Minor, We further state that the said Minor to whom he was charged with selling was at the time of such selling doing business and trading for himself and acting as an adult,

That he was well grown and it was really difficult to tell whether he was under or over 21 years of age,, We further state that Mr M K Asbridge is an inn Keeper at Saratoga Kentucky and Keeps an extreemely quiet and orderly House. and his said house is not a place

where unlawful acts are countenanced or committed. And we feel free to say And ask that his case receeve Executive Clemency and indulgence, which statement and is made and predicated upon the above facts and the further fact that he is an old and good Citizen of Lyon County, and said fine if not relieved by the exercise of the pardoning power would greatly and seriously damage the said Asbridge, who is quite old & dependent
