State of Tennessee
Blount County

The undersigned persons respect
=fully show to his Excellency the Governor
of said State that during the Present Aug.^t
Term of the Circuit Court for said County
one James Currier was on the 3^rd day of
said Term, convicted, of the crime of Petit
Larceny which was alleged to consist in
the taking and stealing an old saddle the
property of one Charles Lockhart.

The undersigners are Citizens of
said County and the greater part of them
have been acquainted with the said James Currier
for some considerable time past and never
have heard the least blame attached to him
before this time, that hs was always heretofore
supported an honest character, and is a
very industrious man with a considerable
family of small children who must share
the infamy of the setence provided it
should be inflicted, and as ^the punishment
to be inflicted is only to be corporal, and can be
of no advantage to any person in the community and
a considerable injury to him and his offspring for-
=ever. We pray that the sentence may be
mitigated and that the said James may be
