Gov Thos E Bramblette Hon. Sir.

We the undersigned Trustees of the town of Germantown Kenty, duly qualified as such, would respectfully represent that James A Kackley was some time since legaly elected as Police Judge of our town; but in consequence of the excitement then existing, application for a commission failed to be made, and our town has suffered a great-deal for the want of an officer properly qualified to administer the law,

Now we would respectfully request your Honor to have issued to the said James A Kackley a commission as Police Judge of Germantown Kenty,

Rspty Signed,
