Lexington Ky Nov 30 1860 Dear Sir

I enclose a petition from W B Robinson & others of Scott Co, for the remission of the fine & imprisonment imposed on him.

The breach of the peace with which he is charged occurred as I am informed at the Aug election 1857. As stated in the petition he was not present at the trial & was not represented by counsel. The indictment was returned in Nov 1857 as you will see from the indorsement on the copy & the trial had been postponed from term to term by the Comth for so long a time he failed to attend.

Respectfully John B Payne Jr

Hon B Magoffin
