To his Excellency Thomas E Bramlett Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky &c &c

Your petitioner Delany Sanders states that at the August term of the Hancock Circuit Court for the year 1863 he was indicted for obstructing a public road in Hancock County by moving his fence across the road, at the February Term of said Court for the year 1864 upon the fine of said Indictment it was found that he had obstructed the road and continued the obstruction for 62 days, and he was fined $62 & costs.- He says that the road had been frequently charged about the place, where the obstruction was and that he placed the fence there under the beliefs that he was not encroaching on the public road but the Jury found the road to be where the obstruction was. Now he says he had no desire or intention to obstruct the road -- He prays that your Excelency will remit said fine.

Delany Sanders

We Recommend the remission of the aforesaid fine
