Letter from Franklin Dewey Richards, Robert Taylor Burton, Seymour Bicknell Young, and John Jaques, 25 June 1895

Salt Lake City, . Presidents Wilford Woodruff, Geo. Q. Cannon, and Joseph F. Smith. Dear Brethren, In the case of Charles G. Parkinson against Bishop James Wrathall, appealed from the High Council of the Tooele Stake, it appears that Brothers Parkin- son and Wrathall and others had sheep in a joint herd, which diminished and eventually was broken up, partly from neglect of the herdsman. Brother Wrathall went to the herd, claimed and sold the sheep, appropriating them all as his share and then they were insufficient to fully satisfy his claim. On Brother Parkinson's complaint the case was tried by Bishop Atkin of the Tooele Ward. Brother Wrathall appealed from the decision of the Bishop's court to the High Council of Tooele Stake, which heard the case, and President H. L. Gowans decided that Brother Parkinson was entitled to his prorata of the number of sheep when sold, amounting to 95, and that as Brother Wrathall had looked after the sheep and effected the sale of them no interest on their value from the time of sale should be required of him. This decision was not sustained by the ^High^ Councillors, the vote being 6 and 6. The High Council reheard the case and decided that Bro- ther Wrathall pay Brother Parkinson 74 sheep at $200 per head, without interest, to be delivered in 90 days at Grants- ville. Brother Parkinson thought he ought to have more sheep, and rental or interest on their value from the time of sale. As no evidence appears to have

Salt Lake City, . To Presidents Wilford Woodruff, Geo. Q. Cannon, and Joseph F. Smith. Dear Brethren—In the case of James Polson and Christian A. Christensen, the latter charged with removing and taking possession of 130 rods of fence belonging to the former, in August 1892, we are unable to affirm ^recommend the affirmation of^ the decision of the High Council of Bannock Stake, or of the Bishop's Court of Basalt Ward. Whether or not Brother Christensen (with his son, then under age) did wrong in removing the fence depends upon whether he or Brother Polson owned the land, and where the proper boundary line ran, which latter questions were not of a kind to be settled by Church Councils, but by competent legal authority. The records before us do not show these questions satisfactorily. Brother Christensen objected to the juris-diction of the Church courts on questions of land titles and bounda- ries. We have no minutes of the proceedings of the High Council, excepting their decision affirming the decision of the Bishops Court, to the effect that Brother Christensen replace the fence in as good condition as before, by July 1, 1894, or be disfellowshipped. We do not know on what the High Council based their decision, other than the minutes of the Bishop's court. Brother Christensen was not in attendance, being at Smithfield. If the fence [w]as on Brother Christensen's land, he had a right to

Salt Lake City, . To Presidents Wilford Woodruff, Geo. Q. Cannon, and Joseph F. Smith. Dear Brethren—In the case of Bishop Joseph E. Thorn and Samuel Green, sen., against Elijah Mayhew and Sarah Mayhew, of Pleasant Grove, for slander, on appeal from the High Council of Utah Stake, Brother and Sister Mayhew are charged with circulating a statement that Brothers Thorn and Green deposited a load of wheat in the Pleasant Grove Tithing Office about 15 years ago, and the same hour, in the absence of Brother Mayhew, who was the Tithing Office clerk, taking the wheat out of the office and carrying it away again, which, though not impossible, was a very unlikely thing, and was denied by Brothers Thorn and Green. The case was heard by Bishop George Halliday, of American Fork, who decided that the charge was established, there being lack of evidence of the alleged theft, and that Brother and Sister Mayhew ask forgiveness of Bros. Thorn and Green, or be disfellowshipped. Brother and Sister Mayhew appealed to the High Council of Utah Stake, which sus- tained the decision of the lower court. As Brother and Sister Mayhew failed to furnish satisfactory proof of their damaging statements concerning Brothers Thorn & Green, and consequently were in the wrong in circulating such statements, we therefore can come to no other conclusion than to affirm the decision of the High Council, which we respectfully recommend. Respectfully your Brethren in the Gospel, F. D. Richards. R T Burton Seymour B Young John Jaques
