The miner's licence was unfair to the diggers. It cost a monthly fee of 30 shillings and permitted the holder to work a 3.6 metre square "claim", which was a small area for the fee involved. Licences had to be paid regardless of whether a digger's claim resulted in the finding of any gold. Frequent licence hunts were conducted, during which the miners were ordered to produce proof of their licences, and troopers dealt harshly with offenders.

The gold licences were expensive and had to paid whether or not the miners found gold. Troopers (police) would frequently conduct licence hunts, and they did not deal kindly with people who objected.
