To His Excellency the Govr of Ky.

The undersigned represent that Mason-Brown Parker, a very respectable, clever gentleman has been fined at the present Octo T. of the Mason Circuit Court, for permitting gaming in his house, the sum of $200. This fine falls heavily on Mr Parker who is a poor man, & is peculiarly a hard case, as he has been absent for most of the time during the last six months, & when the offense was committed for which he has been fined: yet it seems this would not exonerate him in the eye of the law, we therefore respectfly request yr Excly to remit the fine, as the sum to be paid the atto for the Comth will be quite heavy, & as much as Mr Parker can afford to pay.

In this case the party fined does not remain at Maysville or know what is going on -- He rents this place of business to enable a personal friend to earn a support. This friend has not lived

to his contract but he is not able to pay the fine Were I Governor I would remit this fine but Mr Parker would have to close his house or remain at it and see that the law was not violated I recommend the Executive to remit this fine
