Comwth vs Daniel W. Egleston=
In this case deft. was fined at the December term for 1864Kenton Circuit Court, on a charge of selling liquor to one DThomas Dickey -- a minor -- the fine $50 --
It was proved Dickey was in business for himself in this city -- made his own contracts -- and was 21 years old only 5 or 6 weeks after he drank the liquor. He also had the appearance of a person over 21.
Mr. Egleston has uniformly borne the character of a good citizen, and law-abiding man. He was evidently deceived in this matter, and erred unintentionally.
His own affidavit; the statement of J. R. Hallam Esq. (acting Com wths atty., Carpenter not having attended that court); and the affidavit of Judge S. C. Perrin are enclosed herewith. The case presented is one which, I think, merits the clemency of Your Excellency as Govr
Very Respectfully Yours
