To His Excellency Thomas E. Bramlette Govenor of Kentucky

Your Petitioners Robt L Baird & J. H. Price would respectfully state that on the 13th of march 1863 they went upon the Bail Bond of Wm Carey to answer at the may term of the Jefferson Circuit Court to a Charge of Grand Larceny. The bail bond was in the sum of four hundred dollars $400 00/00. At the may term 1863 a forfeiture was had. At the October term 1863 continued for non service of process. At January term continued that petitioners might procure affidavits to show that Carey was in the United-States army: two affidavits were offered showing that he was in the army as a private soldier but they did not show that he enlisted before the forfeiture was entered in may 1863, but did show that

he was a soldier before Judgment was rendered against petitioners.

It was admitted by the court that the affidavits placed Carey in the army but Judgment was rendered because they did not show that he was there before the forfeiture was rendered in may 1863.

Your petitioners bailed Carey in good faith now believe that he would have appeared had he not been detained by ArmyRegulations. He is now in the service of his Government fighting for the union & constitution.

Your Petitioners pray your Excellency to remit the Judgment & they will ever pray

Respectfully Baird & Price

Judgment was rendered at the may term 1864

The statements in the foregoing petition are in accordance with the records of the court; in regard to the steps taken in the case --

J. R. Dupuy Comth Atty

As the man is in the army, serving his country, and the loss may ultimately fall upon him, I hope the sureties will be relieved.

Respety -- P. B. Muir
