To the Honourable Beriah Magoffin Governor of Kentucky,

The under signed, Your petitioner respectfully prays. That on the 25,th, of Decbr last, under the influence of ardent spirits, made use of indiscreet expressions to a person in Liberty, who resented the same by a severe assault on the person of your petitioner.

The parties were immediately arrested and tryed for a breach of the peace. The decision of the case was one of unusual rigour against your petitioner confineing him to jail 7 days and fineing him 12 and 1/2 dollars, and the costs.

The imprudant conduct of your petioner ^He was imprisoned 7 days^ springing from a christmas spree, your petitioner respectfully asks your honour to remitt the fine
