To Governer Beriah Magoffin Henderson Ky June 10th 1862

Whereas Wm Leeg was this day fined sixty dollars for selling liquor on his premises at an election held there and there are some extenuating circumstances attending the sale we respectfully petition your excellency to remit the fine,

Mr Leeg was solicited for several elections by some respectable citizens to furnish refreshments and liquors on election days. Being ignorant of the laws he finally yielded sold but a small amount and lost by the operation Since that time which has been some time and several elections have intervened he has steadily refused to sell more. Mr Leeg is a steady industrious and respectable citizen and quite poor.
