SIR GEORGE ARTHUR, Knight Commander of the Royal Hanoverian
Guelphic Order
, Lieutenant Governor of the Province of Upper Canada, Major
General Commanding Her Majesty's Forces therein, &c. &c. &c.

Whereas, Her Majesty has been graciously pleased, by Letters Patent, under
the Great Seal of Great Britain, to authorise me to grant Licenses for the Solemnization
of Marriages: AND WHEREAS

John Braden
of the Township of Hamilton in
the District of Newcastle, Yeoman
and Mary Ann Wallace of
Cobourg in the said District, Spinster

are determined to enter into the Holy Banns of Matrimony, and are desirous of
having their Marriage publicly Solemnized ; in order that such their honest desires
may the more speedily have their due effect, and that they may be able to procure
the same to be lawfully Solemnized, without publication of Banns, I do hereby, for
good causes, give and grant this License of Faculty, as well to them the said Parties
contracting, as to all or every Parson or Minister, duly ordained, and lawfully
exercising his Ministry within the said Province of Upper Canada, to Solemnize
and perform the same: Provided always, that by reason of any affinity, Consanguinity,
Pre-contract, or any other lawful cause, there be no legal impediment in
this behalf, otherwise, if any fraud shall appear to have been committed, at the time
of granting this License, either by false suggestions or concealment of the truth,
that then this License shall be null and void, to all intents and purposes whatsoever.

Given under my hand and Office Seal,
at Toronto, this second day of
July in the Year of our Lord, One Thousand Eight
Hundred and Thirty Eight and of Her Majesty's Reign, the Second.

Geo [illegible]

By His Excellency’s Command.
