To his Excellency Gov. Thos. E. Bramlette

Your petitioners would respectfully represent that at the May term 1864 of the Harrison Circuit Court a judgement was rendered upon a forfeited recognizance in the case of the commlth of Ky. against Wesley Barnett & Jno. A. Kirkpatric who were sureties for Jno. W. Philips indicted for the murder of Henry Whalen We believe that said sureties used extraordinary efforts to have Philips brought to trial in said case he had been once tried and the jury disagreed: the sureties are peaceable good citizens and we think their case is a proper one for the exercise of executive clemency we therefore respectfully ask that said judgement for $1000 -- be remitted except the percentage of Comlths' atty & officers fees
