A year or two ago several judgments were rendered in the Breckinridge Circuit Court against James Cox & Saml S-- Wall for $60-- each & costs on a joint indictment agst them for keeping a Tipling House --

The facts are that Cox kept in good faith in a Town of Union Stara Tavern & had license to sell spirits therein-- His license had expired a few days when Wall who levid with him sold some spirits ^in the presense of Cox^ -- The license was renewed as soon as Cox discovered that it had expired -- I think The jury & maybe the Court united in a petition for their release which has been mislaid -- This case has strong claims on the Executive clemency --
