To his Excellency Gov. Bramlette

Your Petitioners W. C. Murphy & Alexr. Sitten respectfully state that they were partners in a Tavern in Whity County and not knowing that it was their duty ^they failed^ to procure and place up in their Tavern house a Copy of the Tavern rates established by the County Court, and for that failure they were indicted, and Judgmt has been rendered agst them the present august Term (1864) for $75. fine

They say the omission to discharge their duty was Simply because they did not know it -- No real injury has resulted to the Public or any individual in consequence of said failure, and they therefore pray that said fine be remitted.
