To His Excellency, the Govornor of Kentucky

We the undersigned would respectfully represent to His Excellency, that on the day of 1861, J. T. Calvert, a constable of Scott county, went to the house of Willis Hodges for the purpose of collecting a debt in favor of S. Gayle. The said Gayle attempted to ride into a lot against the orders of said Hodges, there being no necessity for his presence in the case, said Hodges having delivered, before-hand, all the property called for by the offier, Thereby, said Gayle, gave cause, with abusive language as we believe, for the difficulty that then and there took place. We further believe said Hogdges to be a peacable and law abiding citizen, and did not resist in any way, the execution of the law -- that said Hodges was arrested and fined ten dollars, as we think, unjustly, and we think that this is a case, all things considered, would justify Executive Clemency, and they therefore pray his Excellency to remit the fine so injustly imposed
