Tompkinsville Ky 4th April 1861 To the Governor of Ky

A short time since one Theodore Moores who was committed for further trial by an examining Court in Monroe County on a charge of Grand larceny (stealing five dollars) executed with Sureties a bail bond for his appearance &C. at the April term 1861, of the Monroe Equity and Criminal Court. The penalty of said bond being three hundred dollars, He forfeited said bond by failing to appear at the term now in Session. He is a young man without means, and although well raised has unfortunately, fallen into bad habits, His relations who reside in Tennessee are all respectable and his father who is a modelgentleman, is exceedingly mortified, and distressed at the conduct of his son

The father though a man of moderate means and not the bail of his son, has paid of the penalty of the bond two hundred and fifty Dollars leaving unpaid but fifty dollars, A petition will be presented asking a remission of fifty dollars of Said penalty, I am fully Satisfied that it would be not only proper, but eminently Just, that you Should remit fifty dollars of Said penalty, and I do Sincerely hope you may See the matter in the Same light and grant the prayer of the petitioners

Respectfully Wm B Jones Atty for the Comth,

I concur in the above recomendation

Charles Green Judge E & C. Court
