		The Royal Proclamation of 1763, as a law of constitutional significance and manifestly universal application, it is argued, applied to British Columbia, if not as of its enactment in 1763, then either upon the assertion of British Sovereignty over that area or by virtue of the Colonial Laws Validity Act, 1865.
		Further it is argued that the proclamation enjoyed the force and effect of an Imperial statute in the colonies to which it applied.
		In order to understand fully the import of the Royal Proclamation in the colonies it is necessary to understand British constitutional rules governing the nature and exercise of the Sovereign's prerogative legislative and executive powers in newly acquired territories and the rules governing the Imperial law to which the colonies are subject.

		By it, such parts of the coast of Labrador as His Majesty by His Royal Proclamation of the 7th October, 1763, had been pleased to declare he had put under the care and inspection of the Governor of Newfoundland, were re-annexed to the Government of that island.
		That Proclamation and the Commission of the 25th April, 1763, of which it proclaimed the effect, are, for the purpose of identifying and defining such parts of the coast, Newfoundland's title.
		There can, therefore, be no presumption or other reason for construing the term "coast," as used in the Comission and Proclamation of 1763 and in the Acts cited, in any larger sense than is strictly required for the full attainment of the object which the legislator had in view.

	CALDER v. ATTORNEY-GENERAL OF BRITISH COLUMBIA
		By Proclamation of December 2, 1858, the Governor of British Columbia was enabled to have Crown lands sold within the Colony and was authorized to grant any land belonging to the Crown in the Colony.
		These Proclamations and Ordinances reveal a unity of intention to exercise, and the legislative exercising of, absolute sover- eignty over all the lands of British Columbia and such exercise of sover- eignty is inconsistent with any conflicting interests, including one as to "aboriginal title".
		Although I think that it is clear that Indian title in British Columbia cannot owe its origin to the Proclamation of 1763, the fact is that when the settlers came, the Indians were there, organized in societies and occupying the land as their fore- fathers had done for centuries.

		As the Royal Proclamation of 1763 was not properly followed, there is no existing constitutionally valid legal alternative whereby the crown governments and courts can derive jurisdiction over unceded aboriginal territory.
