At the May^November^ term 1863 of the Harrison Circuit Court a Judgment for $250 was rendered against Barzilla Baird as surety for the appearance of A P Baird at the May term 1863 of said court. in the case of the Commonwealth of Ky vs A P Baird, (charged with Felony). Now the facts are that the said A P Baird did make his appearance at the May term 1863, gave himself up to the Shriff. and remained in court until the prosecuting attorney pro tem. gave him permission to depart, telling him that his case would not be reached that court, he accordingly returned home. and when his case was called, he was being about it was continued, and his bail bond forfeited. Knowing these facts, we the undersigned most respectfully petition Your excellency, to remit the said ^fine^ excepting the Prosecuting Atty' portion & costs --

Barzilla Baird is a very poor man. and unless relief can be granted him in this manner, his property will be sold to satisfy said fine --
