CHARLES MURRAY, EARL CATHCART,
of Cathcart, in the County of Renfrew, K.C.B., Administrator
of the Government of the Province of Canada, and Commander
of Her Majesty's Forces in British North America, &c. &c. &c.
WHEREAS, Her Majesty has been graciously pleased to authorise me to grant
Licenses for the Solemnization of Marriages: AND WHEREAS
Henry Major, of the Township of Pickering,
in the Home District and Province of
Canada, Widower, and
Lydia Anne Hawkins, of the same place,
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 Par-
ties contracting, as to all or every Parson or Minister, duly ordained, and lawfully
exercising his Ministry within that part of the Province of Canada, heretofore
constituting the 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 Montreal
this Twentieth day of March
in the Year of our Lord, One Thousand Eight
Hundred and Forty six and of Her Majesty's
Reign the Ninth year.
By His Excellency's Command
T.D. Harington
