Bramblett was; They are also well satisfied that he is utterly unable to
pay the costs that have already accrued (and of that opinion was
the Court having made an order for the County [Trustee?] of [illegible]
to pay the same) and that in the event of his remaining in pri
son the balance of his time the County will be made respon
sable [sic] under the Law for the additional costs. That if imprison
mant [sic] will produce a reformation or even if the punishment will [attone?]
for the offence he has remained in prison for ten months which is
sufficiently long to answer either purpose of it can be efficted [sic] thereby
[those?] things considered your petitioners humbly solicit your Excellency
to pardon the said Sanford Bramblett the [balance?] of his imprisonment
