Il n'y a pas eu de 21e assemblée générale. D'après l'édition révisée en 1993 de The Legislative Assembly of Nova Scotia 1758 -1983 : a biographical directory:
« It should be pointed out, however, that an error in numbering the Journals [of the Nova Scotia House of Assembly] occurred in 1860, when the 21st Assembly was mistakenly referred to as the 22nd Assembly. Although the error was corrected in 1864, it reappeared the following year and has since been perpetuated. Consequently, to be strictly accurate, the present Assembly [convened in 1982] should be regarded as the 52nd, rather than the 53rd Assembly of the Province. »
