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.

Preamble.

 
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;

Grand Manan a distinct Parish.

 
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.

Justices to appoint annually, Parish Officers who shall be sworn, and be liable to the like penalty for neglect or refusal as other Town or Parish Officers.

 
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, officers 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 refusing to perform the duties of their several offices as any other Town or Parish officers within the said County.
