council complained of Robert King for profane swearing
taking the mane of God in vain, Counselor Caulson
said he saw said R. King seting on the bank of the
river one sabbath  evening and heard him say that he
had said by God he would never be a Mormon till the
river run up stream,, but now said he by God I'm a
mormon for the River runs up stream,, but  soon the
current took a log that was floating upstream in an
eddy and carried sown stream again,, now said
King I'll be Dam; if I'll be a mormon any longer
 for the River has turned down stream  again..
Council then cut R. King off from the Church
by unanimous vote. The minutes of the trial
between Meekam and Carter was then read and
