Governor James Douglas issues a proclamation allowing preemption of land, not to exceed 160 acres, by any British subject. It makes available unsurveyed land in the Lower Mainland for farms to feed the gold mining camps, although at $1 an acre it also attracts speculators. Legislative Council passes a land ordinance which claims all lands within the Colony's boundaries for the Crown. Victoria, BC
