To his Excellency B. Magoffin Governor of Kentucky

The undersigned were members of the Jury who at the present term of the Livingston Circuit Court rendered a verdict of guilty against J. B. Lonjenette for selling ^or giving^ whiskey to the slave of Mr Canady -- The circumstances of the case were however such as constrain us to ask your Excellency to remit the fine. We think the case one of peculiar hardship, and the infliction of the fine not necessary for the laws vindication. Augt. 1861
