Nauvoo High Council: Charges brought by George Miller against Chauncey Higbee for unchaste and unvirtuous conduct with women, teaching them that it was right to have free intercourse if it was kept secret, and that Joseph Smith had authorized him to practice these things. Higbee was expelled from the Church, the same to be published in the Times & Seasons. Another charge was brought against Robert Foster for unchristianlike conduct and the failure to pay a debt. Foster was acquitted and the parties reconciled.
