A goldfield commissioner was appointed. He was supported by police mounted troopers, many of whom were ex-convicts. Where there was a likelihood of severe disruption, imperial soldiers were detached to the area to provide further muscle. With such a polyglot lot of miners, from all over Europe and America, and the types of persons who supported and lived on the fringes of the diggings, and the disputes over mining claims, it required very strict imposition of Law and Order. In addition, each miner was required to have a current miner's licence. As the alluvial gold ran out, it became harder to find the money to pay for the licence, so a major activity of the Commissioner became using his troopers to check licences and apprehend defaulters, which was done in a very aggressive manner, adding to the grievances of the miners.
