To his Excellency Beriah Magoffin, Governor of the State of Kentucky

The Petition of Charles Burkhardt humbly represents, that at the present July Session of the City Court of Louisville he was indicted for an assault Battery and his fine assessed at fifteen dollars. He humbly represents that as small a sum as the above may appear, he is on account of his poverty unable to pay it without great distress. He is a poor labouring man, and has a family dependent upon him for their support. He has always sustained a good character for peace and quiet and has never, with the above exception been charged with any offence against the laws. He respectfully asks, that the above fine be remitted and he will ever pray. &c
