The pre-emption law was revived for two years, extending only to those who had made cultivation in 1833.

The evidence

• “THE PUBLIC DOMAIN. 22S expired by limitation in one year from its passage, but was revived by the law of 1834 for two years. In the interim no settler could obtain his land by pre-emption. The law of 1834 extended only to those who had made cultivation in 1833, consequently the settlers of later date were excluded from its benefits. Meanwhile the fraudulent floats were freely used to dispossess actual settlers as late as 1835.”
