Footnotes
- ↑ The word County did not occur in the previous Revised Statutes of New Brunswick. What's meant here is Westmorland Parish; the error occurred when the Revised Statutes of New Brunswick were updated in 1973. The boundary actually runs along a prolongation of the Westmorland Parish line until it strikes the boundary between Shediac Parish and Sackville Parish.
