The previous Governor, Joseph La Trobe, had mismanaged that great source of revenue, the diggers’ licences, in that he bowed to pressure at Bendigo in 1853, halved the licence, and still could not make all the diggers take out even the reduced licence.
To every appeal, the Governor was deaf: he would not pardon the three men, the law must be strictly observed, the diggers must be patient.
Governor Hotham spoke of the “riot” at Ballarat, and subsequently conservatives repeated this sneer.
