To Thos. E. Bramblette Govr of Kentucky

The undersigned most respectfully represents that heretofore on the 26 day of Sept 1864 upon a recognizance became the surety of George a man of Color then the property of Thomas Blackburn for the appearance of said George at the next term of the Scott Circuit Court to answer &c an indictment therein against him for Felony a copy of said recognizance is herewith exhibited -- That immediately after said George was Released upon the bail afsd he volunteered and enlisted in the service of the United States Army for three years and whilst so under service failed to appear according to the condition of his bond and the same was declared and adjudged forfeited and judgement rendered therein against your petitioners copies of which orders of forfeiture and judgement are here exhibited -- That the said George served out his term has been regularly discharged and returned home and since his return upon a Bench warrant issued upon the indictment afsd from the Scott Circuit Court has been arrested and is now in custody of said Court in the jail of Scott County-- Your Petitioners are informed that the

2

proof will render it very doubtful whether said George was ever guilty of the charge alledged against him

And inasmuch as said George incurred the forfeiture of his bond afsd by his absence in the Service of his Country and is now in Custody to answer said charge the Commonwealth has not been injured but benefitted it seems but reasonable and just that said forfeiture and judgement should not be inforced against your Petitioners therefore they pray,, that the same be remitted
