British North America, and Captain General and Governor in
Chief in and over the Provinces of Canada, Nova Scotia,

WHEREAS Her Majesty has been graciously pleased to authorize Me to
grant Licenses for the Solemnization of Marriages: AND WHEREAS
Thomas Rusling and
Elisa Ann Deming both of the Township of Woodhouse
in the County of Norfolk and Province
of Canada
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 the due effect, and that they may be able to procure
the same to be lawfully solemnized without publication of Bans, I do hereby
for good causes give and grant this License of Faculty as well as to them, the said
Parties contracting as to all or every Person 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, Precontract
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 Seal at Toronto
this Fifteenth day of June
in the year of Our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and fifty and of Her Majesty's
Reign the thirteenth
By His Excellency's Command,
T.D. Harington
