[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 6th Several Horses & mules gone this morning. Horsman gone after them. I opened my Bevin Chest & library & found every thing right. We held A Council with the officers in the morning. It was A vary Cold day.
In the Afternoon the Twelve met in council being eight of us And A O Smoot related to the quorum the circumstances of John Taylor taking from John Benbow over $300 for his sister & Br Taylors opinion was there Could be no appeal in the case to any other Authority. The Council voted that John Benbow have A rehearing before the quorum of the Twelve if He wished it. Also voted that the High Council in the salt lake city take charge of the Property on its Arival there which was taken from John Benbow. Resolved also that there Could be an appeal from there decision to the majority of the quorum of the Twleve.
I spent the evening At Dr Richards office with the Twelve & Herd the Epistle read that was for the Saints in the great Bason. I spent a part of the night with Br Smoot at his waggon writing & reading letters, councilling &c.
