To His Excellency Beriah Magoffin Governor of the State of Kentucky

The undersigned Jurors who tried the Indictment against Horace Heffren at the present terFebrua- Term of the Campbell Circuit ^Court^ on a charge of accepting a Challenge to fight a duel state that they were constrained by the evidence & the instructions to find a verdict of Guilty & that they assessed the lowest penalty known to the Law, a fine of $250. They would under the Circumstances, had the law permitted, have made the fine merely nominal. They believe the said Horace Heffren is a fit subject for Executive Clemency & they therefore recommend him your Excellency to remit the fine assessed against him, believing the amount he will be compelled to pay the Attorney for the Commonwealth & the costs, will be ample punishment for the offense
