To his Excellency Thomas.E. Bramlett Gov. of Ky the undersigned citizens of Harrison County Ky. respectfully represent that James Beagle at the May term 1863 of the Harrison Circuit Court was convicted ^for^ false swearing & sentenced for 2 years in the Penitentiary where he now is: the young man swore to his age at an electiion: he is a very illiterate young man & one of his uncles also swore to his age & we believe he had reason to believe that he was really 21 years of age: he is a man in very humble circumstances & has a wife & 2 children dependant upon his daily labor for a support and they have no relations able to help them to any extent: we do not think he is a bad man but rather an ignorant one We therefore respectfully pray that the pardoning power conferred by the constitution upon your Excellency may be exercised in his behalf in order that he may be restored to liberty & that his wife & children may have bread
