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.
