To his Excellency Thos. E Bramblette Governor of the Commonwealth of Ky

Your Petitioner F. M. Sumpter would respectfully represent that at the October Term 1865 of the Wayne Circuit Court, he was fined the Sum of $60 for Keeping a tippling house in the Town of Monticello Ky in the fall of 1864 --

He states that he kept his house openly under a united states License, it being only one he could obtain from the fact there was no Judge of the wayne County Court nor was there any a board of Trustees in Monticello to issue License -- He did not intend to violate any law but expected as soon as he could to obtain license and have them ante dated to cover the time he had sold -- The Judgment in this case was taken by confession, and he hopes Your hon Excellency will remit the same as your petitioner was in no way attempting to evade the Revenue laws of the State ^and^ was at all times willing to pay the State Tax --

Respectfully F M Sumpter

We the undersigned citizens of wayne county concur in the prayer of the above Petition --

G. N Marcum P J W C C Gilson. P. Dick Z. B. Warters G. W. Sumpter A. M. Butler Biron Mills R, Burnett
