To his Excellency Beriah Magoffin Governor of Kentucky

The undersigned would represent that William A. Hord has been fined $20. at the present term of the Christian Circuit Court on a charge of selling spirits by retail without license. They further state that said Hord is quite a poor man, that he has a family who are dependant upon him for their support and that it ^will^ operate very oppressively upon him and his family to compel him to pay this fine tho. the amount may seem small, they state also that he has been in feeble health for several years and is frequently unable to labor for a support for himself and family; Therefore the undersigned believe the fine should be remitted and respectfully request that it may be done.
