Henderson Decr 28t 1865. To His Excellency Thos E Bramlette Sir

Enclosed please find the record and proceedings on an indictment agst C. Sixty on charges for selling liquor to slaves and a forfeiture of recognisance agst. D. Hollinger in same cases. It will be seen that in 1861 deft Sixty appeared and demurred to the indictment, which was overruled and case continued -- In 1862 he did not appear, and the charge, nothing but a misdemeaner -- & his appearance not necessary under the Code yet his bond was taken as forfeited & summons awarded agst Hollinger, the security In June 1863, judgment is rendered agst Hollinger for Sixty dollars amount of said bond with interests & costs. At December term 1864, the commonwealth failing to make ^out^ the case, dismissed same. It seems from this state of case, it presents strong grounds for appealing to executive clemency in behalf of D. Hollinger I take the Liberty of calling your attention for him to the facts, and ask in in behalf a remission thereof

Truly Ben. P. Cissill
