7th General Assembly of Nova Scotia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A writ for the election of the 7th General Assembly of Nova Scotia was issued on Jan. 22, 1793, returnable by March 20, 1793. The assembly convened on March 20, 1793, held seven sessions, and was dissolved on October 11, 1799.
Dates of specific sessions are under research.
Governor and Council
- Governor-in-Chief of British North America:
- Guy Carleton
- Robert Prescott -named December 15, 1796
- Sir Robert Milnes -named July 30, 1799
- Lieutenant Governor: Sir John Wentworth
Technically, Gov. Carleton was appointed not as governor general, but as Governor of Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and St. John's Island (four simultaneous appointments). Since a governor only has power when actually in their jurisdiction, the three additional appointments were effectively meaningless, with Lt. Gov. Wentworth serving as acting governor.
The members of the Council are currently under research.
