The 5th New Brunswick Legislative Assembly represented New Brunswick between January 27, 1810 and 1816.
The assembly sat at the pleasure of the Governor of New Brunswick Thomas Carleton. Carleton having left the province in 1805, the colony was actually governed by a series of colonial administrators during this period.
Amos Botsford was chosen as speaker for the house. John Robinson was named speaker in 1813 after Botsford's death.

Famous quotes containing the words legislative and/or assembly:
“I find it profoundly symbolic that I am appearing before a committee of fifteen men who will report to a legislative body of one hundred men because of a decision handed down by a court comprised of nine men—on an issue that affects millions of women.... I have the feeling that if men could get pregnant, we wouldn’t be struggling for this legislation. If men could get pregnant, maternity benefits would be as sacrosanct as the G.I. Bill.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
“A man may be a heretic in the truth; and if he believe things only because his pastor says so, or the assembly so determines, without knowing other reason, though his belief be true, yet the very truth he holds becomes his heresy.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
