The gold Miner's Licence was introduced in August 1854. The miners were required to pay this fee whether or not they found gold. Prior to this, the miners had to pay a smaller fee to mine, but because so many were renegging on their fees, the response was the Licence, and regular checks by troopers.

A miner's licence was used so that the miners could dig for gold.

If the people didn't have a licence they were arrested or fined.

At that time, licences costs a lot of money and not many people could afford a licence to mine.
