View GlossaryDocket Entry, 2–ca. 3 Apr. 1844 [State of Illinois v. Greene et al. on Habeas Corpus]; JS, Journal, 3 Apr. 1844. The municipal court’s ruling alluded to language in a habeas corpus ordinance passed by the Nauvoo City Council on 8 August 1842 which stated that “if upon investigation it shall be proven before the Municipal Court, that the Writ or Process has been issued, either through private pique, malicious intent, religious or other persecution, falsehood, or misrepresentation,” then the warrant would be “quashed” and the prisoner discharged. (Nauvoo City Council Minute Book, 8 Aug. 1842, 98–99.)
Docket Entry, 2–ca. 3 Apr. 1844 [State of Illinois v. Greene et al. on Habeas Corpus]; Execution, 7 May 1844 [State of Illinois v. Greene et al. on Habeas Corpus]. Although an execution was issued in May 1844, city marshal Greene died without serving it and the seventy-day limit on the execution expired. In February 1845, as one of the last official acts of the city officers after the Nauvoo charter had been repealed in January 1845, the mayor tallied up outstanding fees owed by the city—apparently including the unpaid costs from this case—and authorized payment out of the city treasury. (An Act Concerning Justices of the Peace and Constables [3 Feb. 1827], Public and General Statute Laws of the State of Illinois [1839], p. 408, sec. 27; Daniel Spencer, Order of City Treasury, to William Clayton, 10 Feb. 1845, Nauvoo, IL, Records, CHL.)
