8. That your humble petitioner is very repentant of his actions, and
fully appreciates the disgrace he has brought upon himself and his family and the grief that has been caused to the family of the deceased. He realises fully his error in allowing himself to be influenced by persons of a criminal disposition.
Therefore he is appealing to Your Excellency the
Governor to pardon him for his acts, and to remit the present sentence of hanging and substitute one of imprisonment so that he can repent and atone for all his wrongdoing.
That your humble petitioner promises to remember this forever and thence forward to lead a useful and industrious life and be of benefit to the community.
INJA
and your Petitioner as on duty bound will ever pray,
“呈請人將感恩不盡
