To his excellency Beriah Magoffin govenor of the Commonwealth of Ky

We the citizens of Owsley county would respectfully represent that at the may term 1861 of the Owsley circuit court Isaac Mullins was fine twenty dollars besides cost for the offense of retailing spiritous liquors to wit one half gallon on an election day, that we do not believe that said Mullins knew at the time that he was violating the law, but supposed that he could sell that quantity, that he is a good citizen & had very recently moved among us -- & is a very poor man & not able to support his family & pay the fine & cost, that the cost will be sufficient punishment & really more than than he is able to pay, we believe that his fine ought to be remitted, & believe that it would meet the approbation of the good citizens of this county, we respectfully ask that you remit the same, this 28th may 1861
