&c., &c., &c.,

WHEREAS Her Majesty has been graciously pleased to authorize Me to
grant Licenses for the Solemnization of Marriages AND WHEREAS

Crysler Cook of the township of Stamford
in the County of Welland and Province of Canada
Bachelor and Susan Wallace of the township
County and Province aforesaid Spinster

are determined to enter into the Holy Bans 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 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 Stamford
this Twenty Third day of January
in the year of Our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and sixty six and of Her Majesty's
Reign the Twenty ninth
