We, the undersigned citizens of Jefferson County and Neighbours of Presley Ashby, do respectfully but earnestly request that the Governor of Kentucky will pardon the said Ashby -- He was sent to the Penetentiary for Manslaughter --

Ashby when sober, is an industrious, worthy man -- His principal offence was drinking he has been sufficiently punished -- Ashby has a wife & three children dependant upon him --
