CAP. X.

An Act to constitute the Island of Grand Manan and its appurtenances, in the
County of Charlotte, into a distinct Town or Parish.

Passed the 7th of March, 1816.
" WHEREAS the Island of Grand Manan being now a part of the Town
" or Parish of West Isles, in the County of Charlotte, is situated so
" far distant from the other Islands forming that Town or Parish, as to render it
" very inconvenient to perform the several Parochial duties within such Town
" or Parish at large ;"

    I. Be it therefore enacted by the President, Council and Assembly, That the
said Island of Grand Manan with its appurtenances, be constituted a distinct
Town or Parish, by the name of the Town or Parish of Grand Manan ; any
law or ordinance to the contrary notwithstanding.

    II. And be it further enacted, That the Justices of the Peace for the said
County, shall and may have power to appoint annually from time to time, offi-
cers for the said Town or Parish of Grand Manan, in the same manner as for
the other Towns or Parishes within the said County, which officers shall be
sworn to the faithful discharge  of their duties respectively, and be liable to the
like penalty for not accepting of their respective offices, or neglecting or refu-
sing to perform the duties of their several offices as any other Town or Parish
officers within the said County.
