To his Excellency Thomas E Bramlett Govenor of the Commonweth of Kentucky --

Your petitioners respectfully represent that W. G. Gray was indicted in the Police Court of the City of Louisville for an assault & battery on W. A. Ronald and that at the July term of said court, on a plea of guilty he was fined the sum of Two hundred dollars.

Your petitioners state that it was represented to the said W. G. Gray that W A Ronald had made statements derogetory to the reputation of said Gray, in the presence of several gentlemen in the city of Frankfort, in the absence of the said Gray, & that the said Gray took by the collar the said Ronald, on his Return from Frankfort, and Ronald being unable to give a satisfactory reason for his conduct & statements at Frankfort, the said Gray gave him a slight chastisement, by inflicting on him one, & perhaps two blows with a small walking cane.

Wherefore, in view of the premises, in as much there was no serious injury of any kind done to Ronald, we deem the fine exessive & unjust and pray your Excellency to remit and forever acquit the said Gray from the payment of the same, and we will for ever pray as in duty bound &C --.

Louisville July 6th 1864
