To His Excellency Thomas E Bramlette Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky

Your petitioners citizens of Boone Co would respectfully represent That one Benjamin Stansifer a citizen of Said County of Boone was by one E W Weaver charged with a lie in a Suit which Said Weaver had & in which said Stansifer was a witness -- That said Weaver made this charge publicly -- Said Stansifer heard of the charge made by Weaver & met with him & inquired of him if he had and it was true -- Whereupon Stansifer became much excited & shot at Weaver Stansfier was afterwards indicted for the Shooting and at the last term of the Boone Circuit Court was fined the Sum of four hundred dollars

Your petitioners say that Stansifer is a young man of fine Standing & no one Supposes him guilty of the charge made by Weaver except him Weaver and your petitioners doubt whether he believes same & suppose his charge was the result of feeling -- Your petitioners would add that Said Stansifer has always been regarded as a peacably & quiet citizen & industrious but is in moderate circumstances with a wife That to pay Said fine will greatly embarrass him Wherefore your petitioners pray your Excellency to remit Said fine as in duty bound wil ever pray
