R. C. Harriss Pet for remission of fine

Harris had paid for a license to sell Spir. Liquors one year He closed up for a time under an agreement that no prosecutions were to be had for what had taken place -- Harris performed his part on the agreement but the commonwealth did not stand to the agreement -- not being one that could be plead or enforced Harris has no relief but in the pardon of the Executive

The Act under which this fine was inflicted was passed Oct 1861 probably after Harris had his license. The circumscribing of the privilege of the license after granted would be in bad faith on the part of the Comth toward its Licensed citizen
