To His Excellency Gov. Bramlette

We the undersigned petitioners citizens of Trigg County would respectfully represent to your Excellency that at the last August Term of the Trigg Circuit Court W. S. Carr was fined in the sum of Sixty Dollars for an indictment for "keeping a Tippling House: We represent to your Excellency that there was no proof to show that sd Carr ever sold any spiritious liquors to be drunk either in his grocery or on the premises adjacent thereto, the only proof upon ^which^ the jury found their verdict was that persons drank liquor adjacent to his premises. We represent to your Excellency that said Carr had no Control over said premises that he rented said Store house & that his privlege as a renter extended only to three feet of ground in front of said store; that there was no proof to show that spirits were drank in sd house or on the ground rented by him. Under the circumstances we represent that the fine ought not to be collected of Carr that it will prove a great hardship on him, that he is a poor man with a considerable family & that the payment of said fine will materially lessen his means to provide for their maintance &, support, wherefore we pray your Excellency to remit so much of the fine as may be going to the Commonwealth, and as in duty bound we will ever pray &c
