*When a marriage is celebrated by License, this register, filled up and signed by the officiating clergyman, must be returned, with the License, to the Issuer from whom the said License was obtained and the Issuer will pay to the clergyman 25 cents for both Register and License, not 25 cents for each. When the marriage is celebrated by Banns, the Register is to be filled up, signed and returned by the officiating clergyman without unnecessary delay to the nearest Deputy Issuer of Marriage Licenses, who is authorized to pay him 25 cents for each Register so returned--the Deputy Issuer repaying himself from License money in his hands--and including amount so paid in his Quarterly Returns. Clergymen may obtain Marriage Registers from Deputy Issuers.
Issuers, must return all Licenses, Affidavits and Registers to the Provincial Secretary's Office, with their Quarterly Accounts.

"In the meantime my parents had sold their house to the MacLean brothers for the sum of $475. They then bought the holdings of Enoch Tobin -- consisting of 30 acres of cultivated land and woodland combined; house, barn, henhouse and backhouse -- for $1300."
Page 31
"When my father bought the Enoch Tobin property there were some fishing facilities included in the deal, namely a wharf and fish store. The wharf was constructed of native logs sk\piked together, about 25 feet in length, 12 feet in width and 12 feet in height...................
The top of the wharf....................
The fish store was about 15 feet wide by 20 feet long and two storeys in height..............."
Page 34-5
"The dwelling house my father bought was one and one-half storeys in height, with five rooms on the ground floor. There was a well-designed fireplace with all the equipment such as a "crane", where a number of heavy pots were hung. These pots were once used for cooking and for heating water. When not in use, the crane could be swung to one side while the fire was kept burning to provide heat. To pick up small pieces of wood or live coals, tongs were used. This was all standard equipment, made by the local blacksmith. There was also a bake-oven constructed and made out of brick. This was used for baking bread, which was primarily barley bread."
