[edit] Query "First Lieutenant Governor"
Moody was not the first Governor of the Colony of British Columbia. Is there some authority for the idea that he was the first Lieutenant Governor? He was the first surveyor general according to Morton (see cite I have added in the article) but his work does not attribute the role of Lieutenant Governor. See List of Governors of Vancouver Island and British Columbia. I have changed the reference to refer to Surveyor General. I could well be wrong, but I do not think that in the time of the colonies there was a Lieutenant Governor. --KenWalker | Talk 02:57, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
I've got a citation in for it now. It seems to be more of a dignified title than anything else though: Moody had the authority to act in Douglas's absence, but he wasn't willing to be a dick about it (and Douglas was), so he never really excersised his authority as Lt.
