Covington Ky --
To the Governor of Kentucky --
At the present winter term of the Kenton circuit court, your petitioner, Jos Ranson was fined fifty dollars for illegal voting --
He has been a citizen & resident of Covington for many years -- & had often voted, in his ward or precinct --
That some short time before the election the precinct was altered -- so as to place him in a deferent precinct -- Without knowing of this change -- he voted, at his usual place of voting --
There was no question or charge that he was not a citizen & voter -- -- The mistake, as to the ward or precinct was the only charge --
He asks that the fine may be remitted --
Jos. Ranson
I am familiar with the facts, heard on the trial above refered to -- they are correctly stated --
I have known M r Ranson, personally for many years -- He has been for a long time a citizen of Covington -- & a voter -- & has resided at in the house -- for several years --
