To His Excellency the Govr of Kentucky:

Yr Petitioners beg Yr Excellency to remit the fine of Jno. Daulton, of $50 -- imposed at the presnt OctrTerm of the Mason Circuit Court, & on the 5th. Day of sd Term, on an indictment for carrying concealed a deadly weapon.

John was a veteran of the 16th Kentucky Regiment & served most gallantly during the War, & was honorably discharged when that noble Regiment was mustered out. He was desperately wounded at the battle of Franklin, while heroically doing his duty in that great field. Shortly after his return home, he was intoxicated & quarrelling, & in drawing ^from his pocket^ a small pistol presented to him by an Aunt, it went off & wounded Mr James Wornald, (the petitioner) & himself --

He expressed his regret & sorrow to Mr Wornald, & is well behaved when sober. He is poor & unable to pay a fine & on these grounds, & his past faithful & gallant service, as a soldier we ask a remission of the fine: having reason to believe he did not know the law, & will now, no longer carry the pistol

Octo. 6th. 1865 Most respectfully T. C. Campbell H. Taylor. W. H. Wadsworth

(There was no jury in the Case.)
