To His Excellency B. Magoffin Governor of Kentucky

Your petitioners would state to your excellency that at the April Term 1861, Allen S Brownfield was fined by the Mason Circuit Court the sum of fifty dollars for carrying concealed a deadly weapon, This fine by your executive clemency was respited for twelve months, which time has now expired -- We are informed that there were a great many palliating circumstances, such as would greatly induce to excuse Brownfield for the act for which he was fined, and call for the interposition of your clemency in his behalf. In addition to this Brownfield is a poor, laboring man, has been confined for many months ^by sickness^ has a family dependant upon him for support, and the payment of this fine now, would be a matter of serious loss to him, and would be depreiving his wife & children of their means of support, We therefore pray your

Excellency, that said fine may be remitted, that the payment of the costs, will be an awful punishment, and indeed more than the said Brownfield is able to pay
