To his Excellency Beriah Magoffin Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky

Your petitioners beg leave to represent unto your Excellency, that at the October Term 1860 of the Hart Equity & Criminal Court a Judgment was rendered against Coleby Shipp in behalf of the Commonwealth for one hundred dollars, upon a forfeited Bail Bond of one Richard Murray indicted in said court for assault & Battery

That afterwards towit at the April Term 1861 of said court the case against sa Murray was tried and a verdict returned agset him for the sum of tenDollars, and judgement entered accordingly

They do not believe that sa Murray failed to attend at the time specified in his said Bail Bond, by the procurement or consent of said Shipp, and as the case was a trivial one and to pay the amount of the Judgment would be a great hardship on said Shipp they therefore respectfully ask its remission
