To his Excellency. Governor Bramlette

Your petitioners, the subscribers, would respectfully state & represent that at the July term 1864, a Judgment was rendered against John S. Greathouse for the sum of two hundred dollars, for keeping a tipling house, for three months & at the Feby term 1865 of the Warren Circuit Court a Judgment was rendered against him said John S. Greathouse, for the sum of twenty dollars for retailing spirituous liquors -- We are advised that the said Greathouse was under age at the time of his violating the law a aforesaid & is very much mortified that these judgments should be & remain upon the records of the Country & against him. He has left the County, has no ability to pay the above fines -- he attempted to "work his passage" at a high school his health failed & he is now rusticating & represented as in very bad, if not declining health. The facts considered, we respectfully pray a remission of the foregoing & above fines & Judgments
