George Budd of the Township of Walsingham

are determined to enter into the Holy Banns of Matrimony, and are desirous of

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 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, 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 Quebec,
this Twentieth day of December

hundred and fifty four and of Her Majesty’s
Reign the Eighteenth
