His Excellency, Tho E. Bramlette, Governor of Kentucky.

Your petitioners state that at the November 1865 Term of the Magoffin Circuit Court a Judgment was rendered against the defendant in the case of the "Commonwealth of Kentucky vs Jno F. Patrick on charge of "Tippling House" for the sum & penalty of Sixty Dollars. The evidence was that the defendant had been a soldier in the Union Army -- That he had Just returned home from said Army, when a small gang & body of rebel Guerillas came by his home in Magoffin Co. Ky, and demanded some liquor. That he under fear gave them some as demanded.

That at the same time some citizens were present and some two or three also drank some for which they afterwards paid defendant Patrick. This was the only case of selling by him as shown by the proof.

We therefore ask Your Excellency to remit said fine and judgement of Sixty Dollars.

Nov 28th 1865.

The Above are about the facts in the case.
