To His Excellency Gov Magoffin

The undersigned citizens of Madison county would respectfully state, that Martin Turpin a citizen of Estill County was find by confession of Judgment twenty dollars & costs at the last September term of the Madison Circuit Court for gaming

It was a slight offence, & not usual with him -- he is not a gambler -- but an honest hard-working man with a family. He is poor & cannot well meet this debt --

We think it a case for Executive clemency & respectfully petition your Excellency to remit the same.
