22nd General Assembly of Nova Scotia
The 22nd General Assembly of Nova Scotia represented Nova Scotia between 1859 and 1863.
The assembly sat at the pleasure of the Governor of Nova Scotia, George Augustus Constantine Phipps.
Stewart Campbell was chosen as speaker for the house.
The 22nd General Assembly was actually the 21st assembly of the province, and earned its name due to an error. According to the 1983 revised edition of The Legislative Assembly of Nova Scotia 1758 -1983 : a biographical directory:
It should be pointed out, however, that an error in numbering the Journals [of the Nova Scotia House of Assembly] occurred in 1860, when the 21st Assembly was mistakenly referred to as the 22nd Assembly. Although the error was corrected in 1864, it reappeared the following year and has since been perpetuated. Consequently, to be strictly accurate, the present Assembly [convened in 1982] should be regarded as the 52nd, rather than the 53rd Assembly of the Province.
