To His Excellency Hon Beriah Magoffin

The undersigned subscribers would respectfully represent that your Petition A. J. Gully was indicted at the June Term of the Madison Circuit Court in 1860. for keeping a Tipling house and at the September term of the court for the same year was found guilty and judgment had for sixty dollars & costs. amounting in all to some sevinty two dollars

They would further represent that Mr Gully your petitioner is a verypoorman and and has a family to maintain and that it would be an extreme hardship for him to pay the above specified sum. They further state that if all he owns were sold it would not be sufficient to satisfy the judgment. and furthermore that he is physically unable to labor & has been for two years. In view of these facts we think your petitioner Mr Gully is a subject worthy the exercise of Executive clemency in remitting $42 of the fine
