To His Excellency The Govenor of the State of Kentucky

your petitioners Citizens of the County of Morgan would Respectfully represint to your Excellency that at the Spring term of the Morgan Circuit Court 1860 John Burton Senior John Burton Jr and Jesse Burton were fined by Said Court each fifty Dollars for selling their votes

They are each poor men and not able (in Justice to their families) to pay said fine we think the Mr Burtons have been sufficiently punished for said offences by having their franchise taken away from them. Wherefore they pray in much mercy therefore That said fines may be Remitted
