Petitioner states that said Cannon was in attendance the day that the bail bond was forfeited but at the time the case was called in which he was the witness. he happened had on some other business a few moments before the calling for trial absented himself supposing he would return in time. but when he returned he found that the case was called & continued this bail forfeited and hence is without remedy unless from the clemency of your excellency. he asks a remission of all of said sum, of $100- so far as by law is allowed.-
