To his Excellency Gov. Robinson your petitioners the Jurors who tried the cases & citizens of Harrison County respectfully represent that at a called term of the Harrison Circuit Court held May 15th 1863 H C Neble was convicted of Suffering gaming in his house (he being a tavern keeper) and also of permitting a slave in his employment to sell liquor at his bar Mr Neble is an industrious orderly & loyal citizen of this county and we are staisfied that the games played in his house were played by citizens for more amusement the penalty of defeat being a treat and we are also satisfied that Neble did not employ or use the slave as a regular bar keeper: but that he occasionally waited on customers when his employer was otherwise engaged: and we feel assured from all of the circumstances that his case is one deserving of executive clemency We therefore pray that his fine in the gaming case being $200 -- & in the case for permitting the slave to sell liquor being $20 -- be remitted signed by the Jurors & others this 16th day of May 1863
