To his Excellency The Governor of Kentucky.

The undersigned, your petitioner, James R. Carrigan, respectfully shews that at the August Term 1864, of the Boyle Circuit Court, he was fined $20 for unlawful gaming.

Your petitioner would state that he is not in any sense, a professional gamester, nor does he often indulge in play -- never except for pastime and amusement when having nothing else to do. He is a poor man and a mechanic, with an increasing family dependant upon his unaided exertions, and it will subject him to no little inconvienance to pay this fine and cost. He asks your Excellency, therefore, to remit the fine, and he faithfully promises that you shall not be again troubled with an application of this character from him. Sept 7' 1864.

James R Carrigan

The undersigned, Citizens of Danville, are well acquainted with James R Carrigan, and knowing his Circumstances, unite with him in the prayer of his petition.
