Today in Mormon History ...
Reverend A. E. Campbell and H. Jessup report back to the Presbyterian church in Palmyra: "The committee appointed to visit Hiram Smith, Lucy Smith, and Samuel Harrison Smith reported that they had visited them and received no satisfaction. They acknowledged that they had entirely neglected the ordinances of the church for the last eighteenth months and that they did not wish to unite with us anymore. Whereupon Resolved that they be cited to appear before the session on the 24th day of Mar inst., at 2 o'clock P.M. at this Meeting House to answer to the following charge to wit: Neglect of public worship and the sacrament of the Lord's Supper for the last eighteen months." On Mar 29, they "are suspended from the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper." (1)

Mormon Benjamin Blackbury is arrested in Nauvoo on a charge of perjury. However approximately 125 armed Mormons take him from the custody of the sherriff. Word of the incident reaches the governor who is asked to order a posse comitatus to take Brackenbury. Brigham Young then relents and sends Blackbury with a bodyguard of six men to answer the charges. (1)
