2nd General Assembly of Nova Scotia

• Speaker of the House: William Nesbitt of Halifax County
• Clerk of the House: Archibald Hinshelwood of Lunenburg County

Five counties were created after the 1st assembly was dissolved, and were granted two seats each. In addition, Halifax and Lunenburg Townships retained their 4 and 2 seats, respectively. The Townships of Annapolis, Horton, and Cumberland were also granted 2 seats each, for a total of 22 seats. Horton failed to elect its members.

Note: Unless otherwise noted, members were elected at the general election, and took their seats at the convening of the assembly. By-elections are special elections held to fill specific vacancies. When a member is noted as having taking their seat on a certain date, but a by-election isn't noted, the member was elected at the general election but arrived late.
