To His Excellency Bariah Magoffin, Gov. of the Commonwealth of Kentucky:

The undersigned citizens of Henderson County, Ky., respectfully represent that H. F. Kargus was, at the last June Term of the Henderson Circuit Court, fined in the sum of One Hundred Dollars (two cases of Fifty Dollars each) for selling liquor to Slaves. That a motion was made for a new trial and over-ruled at the December Term, but through mistake Executions were issued and replevied. At the last December term the motion as over=ruled and Executions were issued on Replevin Bonds. Mr. Kargus is a man of limited means, (and acted in ignorance of the law in commission of the offence,) & is really unable to pay the fines assessed against him. Your petitioners, therefore respectfully request that your Excellency may remit the portion going to the State, being fully satisfied that Mr. Kargus will not again offend against the Law.

Respectfully, yours &c Henderson, Ky Jany 25, 1862 --

I believe the facts stated in the above petition and do therefore unite with the Petitioners in their request to have the fine remitted
