Legislation by Source Document: Acts of the General Assembly of His Majesty's Province of New Brunswick passed in the year 1818. Fredericton: George K. Lugrin, 1818.
This act amends an 1816 act for promoting the building of schools in New Brunswick, taking away the power of locals to raise money to support these schools by assessment, and increases the government grant to support these schools.
Given a shortage in coin currency, this act allows for the province to issue more money notes, establishes how they can be distributed, and what penalties there are for counterfeiting.
