To his Excellency Beriah MaGoffin Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky --

The undersigned citizens of Jessamine County represent that at the March Term 1860 of the Jessamine Circuit Court, Samuel Barkley likewise a citizen of said county, was fined by said court the sum of $25.00 and costs, under an Indictment for an affray- We are satisfied from our knowledge of the affray charged that the same was done by said Barkley in the heat of blood and passion, not for which he should be excused, having ever during his life been and acted as a peaceable, quiet and orderly citizen, and no material damage having resulted from the affray- We therefore respectfuly petition for a remission of said fine --
