To his Excellency, Beriah Magoffin, Govenor of the Commonwelath of Kentucky,

Your petitioners would respectfully represent to Your Excellency that at the October 1860 Term of the Hart Equity & Criminal Court a Judgment was rendered against one G. W. Dobson (prinicpal) and R. S. Thomas (Security) for the sum of Three hundred dollars with costs, on an Indictment for the Violation of Tavern Bond. They would further represent that at the date of the Bond the principal (Dobson) was considered abundantly solvent & a discreet & orderly citizen. That he subsequently sold and disposed of his property, and has left the county of Hart having no property out of which the Judgment can be satisfied and that, unless your excellency interpose the said Thomas will be compelled to pay the whole amount of the Judgment with its costs, which would be exceedingly oppressive (he being a poor man)

Wherefore your petitioners would respectfully ask that said fine (except fees) be remitted so far as Said Thomas is concerned.

Munfordville March 4th 1861.
