of Quebec, dated the thirtieth day of March of the year 1860, consisting of the whole of the township of Maria, excepting a small portion of the said towship forming a triangle between the south-west line of the lands of Sieurs Eugène Dugas on the first range, and Maxime Audet on the second range, and the division line between the said township and the township of Carleton, and by the waters of the Bay of Chaleurs, the whole situated in the county of Bonaventure, district of Gaspé, comprising a tract of land of irregular form, of about seven miles in front and about seven miles in depth; bounded as follows: on the east and north-east by the River Grand Cascapédiac; on the north-west by the waste lands of the Crown; on the west by the township of Carleton, from the waste lands of the Crown aforesaid, to the lands of the said Sieur Maxime Audet; on the south-west by the south-west line of the lands of the said Sieur Maxime Audet and of the said Sieur Eugène Dugas; on the south-east by the waters of the Bay of Chaleurs;

Fourteenthly. The parish of St. Joseph de Carleton, erected by a decree of the Bishop of Tloa, Administrator of the Diocese of Quebec, dated the thirty-first day of March of the year 1860, consists of the township of Carleton, of that part of the township of Maria which is situated south-west of the lands of Sieurs Eugène Dugas and Maxime Audet, of that part of the seigniory of Schoolbred and of the township of Nouvelle, situated on the east side of the River Shoumanac, the whole situated in the county of Bonaventure, district of Gaspé, comprising a tract of land of about twenty-seven miles front, with an average depth of seven miles; bounded as follows: on the north-east and east by the parish of Ste. Brigitte de Maria, as erected by a decree of the thirtieth of the same month; on the north by the waste lands of the Crown; on the west by the River Shoumanac; on the south in part by the waters of the Bay of Ristigouche, and in part by the waters of the Bay of Chaleurs ;

And whereas from the great distance at which the said parishes are situate from the city of Quebec, the seat of administration of the said Diocese of Quebec, it would be exceedingly inconvenient and expensive to cause the erection of the said parishes for civil parishes to be confirmed by the commissioners for the said diocese:

Therefore, the parishes hereinabove mentioned, with the boundaries and extent therein assigned to them respectively, shall be, and are hereby recognized, erected and confirmed as parishes for all civil purposes whatever, as fully, and with the same effect, as if they had been recognized, erected and confirmed by the proper commissioners for that purpose, under the laws in force in that behalf; and the said parishes shall, as regards any future alteration, dismemberment or division thereof, either for ecclesiastical or civil purposes, be subject to

the same provisions of law, as if they had been erected, recognized and confirmed for civil purposes by the proper commissioners as aforesaid, and without this act. Amendment of 1860.
