Carlisle Oct. 6th. 1864 To his Excellency Thos. E. Bramblet Governor of Kentucky

Your Petitioner would state that her husband Stoker from April 1862 til April 1863 kept a tavern in Nicholas County under a regular License -- She would further state that at the Sept. Term of the Nicholas Circuit Cour 1863 she & her husband were indicted for retailing Liquor by the Small -- and at March Court ^1864^ she was found guilty & her husband acquitted & she understands was fined $60. She says one witness proved once selling by her since the License expired but no selling by her husband --

She says she let the witness have the whiskey, but it was not paid for -- The witness however said he paid for it & hence the fine -- she says they did not sell nor keep whiskey or any liquor for sale after the License expired & this case was the only complaint agt. them --

She says they are poor, that they cannot pay the fine, they have no means with which to pay it -- They have a family of 6 children & all depend upon your Petitioner & husband for support

Wherefore she prays the fine to be remitted & will ever pray &c.

Mary Stoker
