170 years ago today - Mar 23, 1841

[Brigham Young] --23-- I walked fifteen miles to Chester, and from thence by rail to Liverpool.

--25, 26, and 27-- Brother Richards and myself were detained at the Liverpool Post-office, as witnesses in the case of "The Queen v. Joseph Holloway," for not delivering letters in due season. We were also engaged packing and sending off Books of Mormon to pay those who had loaned us money to carry forward the printing and binding.
