24^th I met in council with ethe Twelve & High Council & herd
a charge prefered by the Policee against E. D Wolley for making
use of sedicious language against the Authorities of the Church
the letter of the accusation was sustained against Br Wolley
but it was not supposed by any that the spirit of sedition
was in his heart. It proved to be an interesting meeting as muc[h] [page covered]
teaching & instruction was drawn out of the Presidency High
Council, Twelve &c. Br Wooley in his plea expressed his
feelings that the Hickery clubs carried by the policee, & the council
for Bishops to preside over Any parties in the place to keep order,
And that the Policee would not suffer A man to let his own cattle
get into his own crops to destroy them were oppressive to his
feelings. President Young said He wanted to speak upon the
spirit of the thing with Br Wolley, that the things that oppress
Br Wolley^s feelings would have no effect upon him if all had
been right with him but he had got the spirit of the world & did
not feel right. Said that the law was for the unruley & that
it must rest upon good men in order to reach the unruly &
transgresser. many gave their opinion upon the subject
Br Wooley made his confession that he had spoken in an im-
proper manner in a moment of passion He was forgiven by the
council & all was settled. W. Woodruff in his remarks said
He would advise evry individual not to make any decision or give
any judgment or opinion upon any subject whatever untill
they herd both sides of the question. Council was dismissed
& we returned home. Brs Pratt & Levi Richards & myself
visited Br Henman's family to administer to them for the whole
family was sick & had been troubled with evil spirits we
prayed with thise family & laid hands upon 7 that were
sick of the Household the spirit of the Lord was with us
& we rebuked the sickness & commanded the evil spirits
to depart & they recieved A blessing upon the family. Br's
Pratt & Richards returned to my house & spent several
hours in conversing about science, Phylosophy, Astronomy,
And A variety of things of interest
