To his Excellency, Beriah Magoffin, Governor of the state of Kentucky:

Lovell Head makes oath to the following statements: In July last he was arraigned before the Police Court of Harrodsburg for fighting with one Bill Carter, and a judgment was entered Against him by sid Court for $20. -- and costs. He states that there was no riotousness or fuss connected with fight; only a blow or two was struck in mere momentary passion. He states that he believes that he was in no-wise blameable; that he done nothing for which he ought to be fined. He states that he is a poor boy, dependent on his daily labor for a support, and that he is unable to pay the fine: That unless it be remitted by Your Excellency he will have to go to Jail. He states that he never engaged in a fight either before or since, and that it was never his intention to do anything against the peace and dignity of the Commonwealth; wherefore he prays and humbly petitions Your Excellency to remit this fine.

L. Head

Sworn to before me by Lovell Head this 29th Dec. 1860.
