This act makes perpetual an act passed in 1819 regarding the repair and maintenance of public roads in the province, with the addendum of several clauses. The fee required to be paid by those who wish to pay a fine rather than work the required statute labour is specified, as well as the penalties for failure to pay these duties, and the duties of the Surveyor of Streets is detailled as well as their appointment.
This act allocates funds for the buying of religious tracts and the establishment of religious schools in remote communities and indigenous peoples in the province.
This act specifies how census data is to be collected by assessors appointed by the townships or parishes of the province, and what information they are required to collect. It also specifies the penalties to be enacted upon assessors who neglect to perform their duties.
This act modifies an act first passed in 1805 regarding the presenting of petitions concerning controverted assembly elections. The procedure is changed, requiring more time for submissions and response, and greater detail concerning procedures and requirements is written into the new act than the prior act of 1805.
This act repeals all past acts concerning the election of the members of the House of Assembly and re-writes election rules into one, inclusive and condensed legislative act.
