State of Kentucky Carter County, Sct

To His Excellency The Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky the under signed petitioners would respectfully represent to your Excellency that James McGlochlin of Carter County Ky. was fined $20 for retailing whisky before Isaac Burton a Justice of the peace for said County; Now we petition you to remit said fine for these reasons that (to wit) First he did not own nor never did own any whisky or in fact ever sell any whisky for himself in the County or state The facts about the selling is this Mr McGlochlin was hired to work for a poor widow woman and she had, some Little Liquor to sell maybe a half a barrel and when he was at his meals when at work there were persons came to get Some whisky and the widow Lady was at other work and he was requested by her to draw whiskey twice which he did but went away immediately to his imployment or work we further state that said McGlochlin says that ^he^ never did sell any whisKy. for himself nor he never intends to do so in violation of the Law Mr McGlochlin is a poor man a good Loyal citizen and we think it extremely hard for Mr McGlochlin to ^pay^ said fine as he was not selling for a proffit nor for him self it was only an accident he sold drawd the whisky at all at the instance of the Lady and such relief we shall ever pray.
