To his Excellency Thos E Bramlette Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky --

Sir: We, the undersigned, your petitioners, would respectfully but most earneslty, solicit your attention to the sentences passed on James W McIntosh & F M. McIntosh at Magistrate Payton Thomas' Court held in June 1865 -- James W McIntosh fined $3000 and costs by Jury, for committing an Assault & Battery on the person of one Alexander Taylor -- F M McIntosh fined $1500 and costs by same for Breach of peace. We the few devoted union men of the neighborhood in which the court was held and in which the said J. W. & F M McIntosh reside would state that we believe the above fines are wrongfully gotten up as there is a strong prejudice existing on the part of the Magistrate, Jury & Witnesses against the said J W & F M McIntosh inasmuch as they have taken an active part in reporting guerrillas ^in their neighborhood^ and assisting the Federal troops to arrest them -- Having, as we do a high reguard for the said J W & F M McIntosh we do most respectfully and earnestly beg that their sentences

may be remitted -- Trigg County Ky. June 28th 1865.
