To His Excellency Thos E Bramlette Governor of the State of Kentucky

Your petitioners citizens of Owen County Ky would respectfully represent to your eExcellncy that on the day of November 1865 a Judgment was rendered in the Owen Circuit Court in favor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky against Tho A Berryman and J A Duncan for the Sum of Five Hundred dollars and costs upon a forfeited recognizance acknowledged by the said Court at a former term of said Court as the sureties of N G Walter who was under arrst charged with hourse stealing --

Your petitioners state that the defendant Walter appeared in Court on the next day after the recognizance had been forfeited -- but the cause had then been continued and was not tried --

Under all the circumstances it would be a great hardship on Messrs Berryman and Duncan to have this money to pay Walter if living is a very poor man and can never be able to repay

Your petitioners therefore most respectfully pray your excellency that said Judgment be remitted and they will ever pray &c

December 27th 1865
