The last known fatal duel in [[Ontario]] was in Perth, in 1833, when [[Robert Lyon (duel)|Robert Lyon]] challenged [[John Wilson (Ontario politician)|John Wilson]] to a pistol duel after a quarrel over remarks made about a local school teacher, whom Wilson married after Lyon was killed in the duel. [[Victoria, British Columbia]] was known to have been the centre of at least two duels near the time of the gold rush.  One involved a British arrival by the name of George Sloane, and an American, John Liverpool, both arriving via San Francisco in 1858. In a duel by pistols, Sloane was fatally injured and Liverpool shortly returned to the US. The fight originally started on board the ship over a young woman, Miss Bradford, and then carried on later in Victoria's tent city.<ref>''The Old Cemeteries Society'' (Pioneer Square) pp. 7–9.</ref> Another duel, involving a Mr. Muir, took place around 1861, but was moved to a US island near Victoria.
