Ohi Hartford Ohio County Ky -- April 5th 1864 To his excellency Thomas Bramlet Gov of Ky

Your petitioners would respectfully represent that Jonothan Raley was at this term of the court fined four hundred dollars to wit on the second day thereof upon seven indictments one for breach of tavern bond & two for permitting gaming one for not keeping road in repair, and three for selling liquor to minors. They state that the said Jonothan Raley kept a tavern at Caney precinct Ohio County having license to sell liquor by the small, and that he kept everything an usually kept to entertain travellers and did entertain travellors that called upon him, that he never permitted any gaming only for amusement for treats. This was done for pass time & not considering it gambling at the time & the charge for keep breach of bond was based upon said gaming which was fineing him twice for the same offense -- and as for selling liquor to minors he acknowledges that he did so -- but that it was to young men the youngest not less than 19 years and were permitted by their parents to pur purchase when they pleased_ and some
