To His Excellency the Governor of Kentucky

Your petitioners state that at the June term 1863 of the Marshall Circuit Court Harrison Jeffrey was tried on an indictment charging him with retailing and fined twenty dollars; that the facts & circumstances of the retailing of the liquor were, that he drew & handed out the liquor and received the pay for one Joseph Bolen an indigent decrepid blind old man who had been indulged by the officers courts & juries & Citizens of the Country in retailing Spirituous liquors as a means & only means of support ^for many years;^ that this privelege had been extended to said Bolen by the Community because of his infirmities and because of his having served faithfully & fought for his country in the wars of 1812-15 as a soldier under Gen Jackson, that it was customary for his friends to assist him in measuring out liquors & receiving pay; that said Jeffrey had no interest in the liquor and received nothing for his services, that the costs are considerable & said Jeffrey is a poor man. Now in consideration of of these facts and of the crops in this section having been ruined by the late frosts, especially the tobacco crop we would

ask that the said fine be remitted It is a small amount to him but to Jeffrey it is large. Jeffrey had as we learn intended to pay the fine & not trouble you, but since the frosts, which destroyed his tobacco, have cut off his expected means he desires & seeks a remission of said fine.
