We whose names are hereto subscribed Humbly petitioning request & pray Beriah Magoffin ^Governor of Kentucky^ to remit a fine of $40 adjudged against Ms Matilda Hobbs by the Nelson Circuit Court at the present March Term 1862 for permitting negro woman Nancy to trade in some market stuff

The case recommends itself to executive cemency in this -- that Ms Hobbs is an old and very respectable lady and there was no intent on her part to make a breach of the law -- the only testimony against her was her own son a youth who resides with his mother -- and the fine being fixed by the statute the jury had no discretion as to amount -- we ask a remisson except as to the Commonwealths attorneys part of same --
