Wayne County, Kentucky, and that at the October Term 1865 of Said Court he confessed Judgment for $60 -- 00 upon trial under said indictment with the consent and by agreement with the Attorney for the Commonwealth --

He further States that he did not keep a tippling house for three months, and that during the time he sold said liquors, he was regularly licensed to do so under the Internal Revenue laws of the United States, which he supposed would be sufficient authority as he had no means of procuring the license required by the laws of the State of Kentucky from the fact, that at that time there was no judge of the Wayne County Court or any one else in said County authorized theo grant him said license He furthermore States that he was bound to sell said liquors at the time, and in the manner he did or suffer considerable pecuniary loss Wherefore he asks as a favor that said fine be remitted

Respectfly J. S. Frisbie
