	~ GOLD ~
		While the imposition of gold licences was a constant source of aggravation on the diggings, it was the introduction of soldiers in the period 1852-53, and the subsequent arrival of the new governor Sir Charles Hotham in June 1854, that brought tension between the diggers and authority to a head.
		Hotham's actions brought all the simmering grievances of the diggers to the fore again; license hunts, the incompetence and corruption of the police and the inadequate services provided by the government of the goldfields.
		Hotham reacted by ordering the arrest of Bentley and his mates, as well as the diggers who had burnt the hotel.

		Sir Charles Hotham, the newly appointed Lieutenant Governor of the Colony of Victoria, was a man who “from the commencement took everything, great and small, into his own hands (Legislative Assembly).

		When Hotham had sacked a thousand employees in an effort to repair government balance sheets, the unemployed mounted a thousand-strong protest meeting, at which the chair, a carpenter named Cathie, had complained that no jobs were available but ‘pick and shovel work’.
