To the honourable T E Bramlett governor of Kentucky the undersigned petitioners would respectfully represent unto your Excellency that at the last (the March) term of the Taylor Circuit Court, one John Hosh was fined fifty dollars and 20 days imprisonment in the County Jail, the offence charged was a breach of the peace, for going with some other persons (2 in no) to a neighbours house to get some whiskey and as they went to the house one of the party (not Hosh) shot a dog in the yard, and also made some noise, we would represent unto your honour that said Hosh is a poor man, has to work for his living, has a family to support and it requires all that he can make to support his family and believing as we do that Hosh intended nothing rong by going with the others to get the whiskey, we would respectfully petition your Excellincy to remit the fine & imprisonment.
