Sir Enclosed please find petitions from Citizens of the County aking the remition of fine assesed against W, B, Walters & John Dishman at the last September term of our Equity & Criminal Court they are both Sober and industrious farmers but was caught in a fight, and became amenable to the law, but I believe the unanimous sentiment is, That the fine is too great for the offence, the cost of the suit was verry considerable, If consistent with your feelings to remit said fines the favor will be greatfully received by those men, and by the people of the County almost unanimously,

Yours Truly C A, Johnston
