Hon Gov. Bramlette
Dr Sir
At the present term of the Johnson Circuit court I had to take Judgement aginst J. C. Castle & Moses & Frank Preston -- the first for Tippling Selling to minor $60 -- the second party (partners) in one case of selling to a minor & in one case of Tippling.
These sellings happend in '62 & '63 -- & the Legislature having suspended the limitation law in the county -- the court had to take notice of these acts now.
The parties above kept houses of public entertainment -- but had no license on account of there being no officers & no law in the county, to issue the same -- The armies were here some-times, & while they did not make it a business to sell, some was sold to officers & others, at different times.
They are gentlemen who are opposed to law-breaking as much as much so as any one, & are good citizens -- & I thought it my duty to make this voluntary representation of their case -- believing that under the circumstances the fine should be remitted
