Your Petitioners Patrick Linnehan, and Nora Linnehan, state that at the March Term, (1864) of the city court of Louisville, a fine of twenty dollars was assessed against them (partners) on a trial, for selling liquor without license, The witnesses against them were persons who had deadly hatred against petitioners, Nora Linnehan had Eight hundred dollars stolen from her, & she caused Search warrants to be issued to search the premises of said witnesses for the stolen money and thereupon they appeared before the Grand Jury and upon their testimony said Indictment was found and upon their testimony said conviction was had. They state that, that they as brother & sister keep a boarding house, that they keep a small quantity of whisky at times for the accomodation of their boarders that all of sd boarders appeared in court & testified that they had never paid one cent for drinks taken in their house. Yet the said Prejudiced witnesses stated otherwise. Your Petitions declare that they were guiltless. They ask for a remission of sd fine
