I would respectfully call attention to the special report in the case of David Canada, and would particularly urge upon your favorable consideration; the recommendation of the County Court and the Courts Atty, that the fine imposed and collected of Rich [[?]] Cunningham ($150.00) be paid over to John Brandon (col'd) the colored man shot by Mr Cunningham; the reasons for urging that course, as set forth in the petition and my endorsement, being to my mind sufficient.
I would also call attention to my report on the case of Polly Jennings (col'd) sentenced by the Circuit Court to be hung on the 18th day of December next for the murder of her child, it being proved, by circumstantial evidence, that she cut its throat at the time, or within 24 hours of the time of its delivery.
Very Respectfully
Your Obt Servant
