There are’other methods by which insurgents may be reduced than the sword. On the 5th April, Mr. Commissioner Cloete having driven a number of Chinese from their mining claims on Blackguard Gully, Lambing Flat, the said Chinese having their “Miners’ Rights,” expected therefrom to be protected as elsewhere. RUMOURED ATTACK ON THE CHINESE ONE OR TWO KILLED. We must go on the give and take principle. never; down with them.” I am certain that the Burrangorang gold- fields will be a diggings for years, capable of supporting thou- sands upon thousands of poor men. (Hear, hear.). We don’t know. _ Some three thousand, better prepared and organised, were to attack, and had sworn to destroy the whole of us. In the sweep of life, the thread that relates to race and discrimination only snags every so often: the odd taunt at school; the dickheads on the banks of the Lane Cove river, looking down on us paddling a canoe, singing the Cold Chisel line, ‘looking like a choir girl, she’s crying like a refugee’; the drunk who called me a slope cunt outside a Wolloomooloo pub in the days before it was highly priced real estate; or the homeless man who told me he had fought for me in the Vietnam War. Governor may remit penalties, Se. Where are they to go! Stan and Joe Zuray discover a large predator has been stealing from their trapline. What it must have been for a white farmer, the son of a convict, in 1861 to see the flow of Chinese people heading down to his Currawong Creek flats, different of skin and dress and carrying brutal injuries. “Chinese”-Any male native of China or its dependencies or of any Island in the Chinese Seas not bom of British parents or any male person bom of Chinese parents. The Chinese evidence wa« very unsatisfactory, and in consequence the Court was adjourned till thi» morn- ing, the prisoners being ali admitted to bail ia one surety of £»0 each. Australia would then know her calling – she would became a blessing to all within her borders, and be blessed and honourable in the eyes of the world. Another sudden death also occurred at Stoney Creek. Unless the Go- vernment take a decisive stand at once there will be bloodshed, for they are sworn to clear the digging» of every Chinaman. The main body was here joined by numerous others, who carte Hocking in from all quarters, until the number assembled amounted to at least 3000 persons. Two gentlemen who left the diggings on Sunday last, state that tbey beard nothing of tbe ooourrtnee while on the field, and are disinclined to believe the statement. This largely spelled the end of hostilities for most of the diggings – except for Lambing Flat / Burrangong. When I think of the miners, I think about the Roberts story and I come back to this. A few days later she agreed to talk to me about that moment and the concept of bigotry. Alargo number of pug mills lmvo boon erected along the Uno of tho river, but want of water as yet forms tho groat drawback to their, full success. After proceeding about a a quarter of a mile, they again halted. It is certainly to be regretted that the Government have been so laggard in afford- ing needful protection to life and property on the diggings, the sole staff, only very recently appointed, consisting of a Commissioner and two mounted troopers, who are stationed some twelve miles distant from the locality where mining operations are carried on. The avcrago earnings arc from £1 to £1 per man. I have brought away the whole force.’ The Yass Courier reported: The step taken by Captain Zouch is said to have been absolutely necessary to prevent the annihilation of his men by the excited mob. In 2017, with almost half the Australian population born overseas or with a parent born overseas, our government cannot contemplate allowing those 1262 asylum seekers into the country. (A voice—”It was the Commissioner,” and loud cries of “There he is.” Commissioner or no Commissioner, it was an uncon- stitutional act, but it matters little now since we are sufficiently numerous to do what we want to do. V ery few of the peor creatures here attacked escaped with their pigtails, none of them without injury of some kind, whilst every article of the property they had endeavoured to take with them was plundered of all that was valuable, and then burnt. And there may be other riots. Catherine Bradley, a native of Hull, about twenty.four years of age, married about seven years. The effect of Cowper’s visit became clearer in the wake of his returning to Sydney and the reports of his visit started to emerge. If measures something like these were adopted the Chinese diffi- culty would soen be an affair of the past. With all such barbarities they had to submit ; they had no voice that was heard by the law, but had to abide by the degradation ! I do hope the Government will endeavour to set- tle this question with’ as little delay as possible. The people of this colony will remember the perfect detestation with which all immigrants were regarded-how they could not pass the streets, or go into any public place, without being insulted by the “ real proprietors,” as they deemed themsehes. Virtually no wives accompanied their husbands, whose sole priority was to make enough money to support their families once they returned to China. After a poor trapping season, Charlie Wright teams up with Stan Zuray in a last-ditch effort to catch beaver. old bushman from venturing into so perilous and difficult a country. Parry, in tilting a bucket, jammed his hand, and exclaimed, “Oh, I have hurt my finger,” and placed his head upon the roller of the windlass, his mate supposes he must have fainted, for, almost im- mediately, ho slipped, legs first down the shaft, thirty-two feet in depth. We will veil the after proceedings, and conclude the affair by stating that the man was let loose on respectable bail, and bound over the following day to keep the peace—a proceeding which might have been adopted when the excitement had died away with much better effect, if necessary. It add» that on the evening of the day on which the Bparring saloons were destroyed by the Vigilance Committee and their owners driven off the diggings, the mob fell across some Chinese, who certainly received more kicks than half-pence. THE CHINESE VERSUS EUROPEANS AT THE LAMBING FLAT. Soon after some 250 Chinese were escorted back from James Roberts’ Currawng property where they had sheltered and were re-established at Back Creek. On- all the old gold-fields there has been an accumulation of such men. He said—Mr. That there has been many tens of thousand ounces of gold obtained in Victoria that would not otherwise have been were it not for the Chinese no one can doubt. LAMBING FLAT. On Monday last there was a rush to the head of Spring Creek ; the first hole sunk there produced a prospect of IS dwts. Thus, every digger on Lambing Flat will suffer in his cir cums’ances from the disorder which is said to be created in his cause. Gold here is worth £3 15s. Orders were given to the foot police to fire, and two volleys were.pourcd in steadily to lhe advancing masses, shivering the head of the attack, and causing it to fall back in disorder upon those behind. Education. I leave that to abler pens and wiser heads ; but so much I can say, that if they are permitted to work at their usual mode of operation, the consequence must either be blood- shed or the interruption and abandonment of one of the best gold-fields ever discovered in New South Wales. James Roberts and his family gave refuge to many injured Chinese miners on their property just outside the Back Creek goldfields. it ia even asserted that the officers have dined with the diggers ; but the report of anything (under the circumstances) BO extraordi- nary requires confirmation. Information of the piojccted attack wns, however, taken over to the Chinese in this locality, who, hastily packing up the most valuable and portable portions of their property, hurriedly made off from the spot. The following is from the Yass Courier, of Wednesday, 10th December: The opening days of the new field were tumultuous ones indeed with violence directed not only at the Chinese but also amongst the European miners themselves. It is with great pleasure I see that Mr. Cowper has left Sydney for Lambing Flat. It also provides crucial details of a battle between the Chinese and Europeans at Native Dog Creek close by the Lambing Flat field, where the Chinese successfully defended themselves against a small mob of miners seeking to drive them off their claims. If the Government do not attempt to bring some of the parties engaged in this last riot to justice, no man’s life on any of the gold-fields will be safe. “ Master “-The person for the time being in , actual command of any such vessel. They would spread up the hill higgledy-piggledy with the shelter of only a few large gum trees. He then alluded to the good order always maintained by the diggers in their movements, and hoped that day’s proceedings would be no libel on their past conduct. They offered me chopsticks, carried conversations in bad Chinese accents, mashed up half a dozen different Asian cultures into their comparisons. It was not the Celestials who opened that field, but a party of Kiandra returned diggers, and after the latter had been there for some time at work the former swarmed there from the surrounding diggings. Roberts would have found it no easier. ? James Martin Roberts is on Facebook. Mr. Stewart then in a humorous vein sug- gested a remedy, by telling them if they were good working men they might obtain seven or ten shillings per week from the squatter, with rations,—which produced a tumult of hisses, groans, and anything but flattering exclamations. Were it possible for them to get what they daily consume from China, and to be able to avoid all con- nexion with British or foreign traffic, they would glory in being able to do so. Some maintained the gold fever. The Burrangong goldfield included Lambing Flat, Wombat and Little Wombat. ... Francis Roberts is stranded miles outside of town after his snow mobile breaks down. At last tlic storm, which had been so long seen, by all but those who bhould have been the most atten- tive in their examination of the social horizon, to be impending, broke with a violence) that at once woke up the sleepers from their pleasant dreams. This bought some breathing space, but it raised expectations that the government act on their behalf sooner rather than later. Amongst the descriptions of the affray, calls for a strong response sounded out. It will be seen that what a digger calls a pitchhole, is a very rare occurrence. to tho half cvvt. On all the older diggings their consumption forms a considerable amount of the storekeepers takings-their earnings generally are so small that all is expended in food and clothing. I survived. Pajuienta aforesaid to be paid into Contohdated Fond. Yet with all the amount of machinery and the increase of population, the gold-fields ot Victoria since 1856 show a very great decrease, and this year in particular -for it was expected with the companies that were so quickly formed some time since, whose shares were Eo eagerly taken up, the introduction of such an amount of machinery, that the yield of 1860 would at ihe least equal 1859 ; but up to the present date it falls very far short-a decrease of upwards of 5000 ounces weekly. The lamentable letter of Mr. ZOUCH, and the toleration it implied, of drawn swords-the riotous demolition , of shanties, and , so forth-was a blunder as dangerous as any ever committed by a public ‘officer. Roberts lived in a big stone house, which in the style of the times hid its occupants from the hard Australian sunlight. “With a population of between three and four tbouaand persons on the ground, it is- surprising tbat no stepB bavo yet been taken to secure the regular and frequent delivery of letters, and we ‘ hope the Poslma-ter-General will see tho necessity of at once bestiriing himself lo bave Ibis very neoei-sary right ex- tended to the digging population on the Lnmbing Flat. and many here think’ that these deaths ought to be enquired into before a jury, and the fullest facts elicited ; the magia trates, I believe, having no power to summon a jury. (Hear, hear.) Our family was the modern-day equivalent of that family in the tent at Lambing Flats. (Shouts of “Down wilh the pig-tails,” “drive them before us,” —men who would not spend one farthing in the colony could they possibbly avoid it!—men, did I say—oh, my prophetic soul, my comrades—monkeys I ought to have said. I must, therefore, say it would be a great moral wrong that a few hundred pagans should deprive such a large portion of our colonists of their bread. But since the riots at Lambing Flat commenced they have been continually assailed by the rabble, who take every opportunity to harass them. There was no response to the call made to the respect- able part of the community. Yet if they were recorded for public consumption today, they would no doubt go viral. Protection to native industry. Several weeks later the Herald correspondent returned to the events surrounding the riot of 30 June in a most comprehensive summary. (Hear, hear.) Three police were wounded and three rioters killed on that rainy night, while the SMH journalist had to leave the town after his life was threatened ‘on account of the too truthful way in which he had dealt with their proceedings’, wrote his editor. All kinds of arguments would have been brought to prove that the Chinese were a very industrious, persevering, and desirous population; but now that the same causes tend to place New South Wales in the same position Victoria was in, having a large extent of auriferous ground to be worked, the troubles that were Victoria’s arc now hers-only doubly so, for, independent of the induce- ment held out for immigration from China, there is the large Chinese population in Victoria. Had the Chinese at first have been reinstated in their claims, the law upheld, and then the grievances of the diggers enquired into, and legislated upon, the question would have been settled. I still can’t quiet explain why I laughed as hard as everyone else about those Chinese jokes of old and yet still feel so disappointed when race debate flares. And in every such case in addition to any such penalty the vessel shall be forfeited and may be seized -condemned and disposed of in like manner as shipB forfeited for a breach of any law relating to the Cus- toms oí this Colony. This morning the fifteen prisoners were brought up and all discharged, se no »atisfactoty evidence could be brought against them. On 17th February last, the Chinese were driven from Lambing Flat by a lawless mob, who burnt their tents and jumped their mining claims, inflicting thereby a great deal of hardship on them. The diggings around Lambing Flat still continue to lead amongst our gold-fields (Tipperary Gully is still be said to bo the principal working place, though want of water proves a very great drawback to tho minors’ success llio sinking is also very deep, and ns the good ground is very patt by, though exceedingly rich whon hit upon, tha prizes drawn in tho gold diggings lsttciy ure few, whilst the blanks aro many Still tho regular thorough gold-digger prefers tho chanco of making a good haul to tho certainty of regular find which pays bim good wages, and thus this locality ¡i a favourite amongst tho old hands at tho work About a thousand persons wero said to bo at work thore nlieiit tho beginning of tho month, but silica thon tho population of working miners has been somow hat i educed tv a new rush, nimed, from Us discoieior, Sprowlo s Rush It is situated about mno milos north e ist from Lambing 1’lot and m tho vicinity of the Bathurst Hoad Within a few dav s of its being first mndo known bj the application of its discoverer for an increased claim, fully 2000 people were located on tho ground, stores, shautios, theatre*, places of amusement, and diggeis’ tents springing up hko mushrooms in tho placo -uñero but a week back au was silent and solitary bush Day after day parties con- tinued to anne, and it was anticipated that theto would be a resident population of from 4000 to 6000 souls, if tho holes then in course of sinking turned out nnythmg equal to thoso bottomed on tho prospectors chuns Oui last nows by electric telegraph informs us that tin* rush has not nnawcred tho expectations cntct tamed of it, and that parties aro leavuig as rapidly as they had arrived At M ombat and tho Spring Creek tho population had beou kept together by occasional minor rushes that lune beon made in their immodiato viunity, and latest accounts show tho latter locality to bo one oncomoro m favour, as tho population was rapidly increasing, bj tho return of parties who had been unsuccessful at Tipperary Gully and ¿prow lo’s Rush Stony Creek is comparatively deserted, hut all uruto in declaring that there is plontj of gold to bo yet got out of it Tho mihtarj loft Lambing Flat on tho morning of tho 21lh Maj, and arm ed in Sjdnej on the 1th Juno Ihej wert warmly cheered bj tho diggers as they marched from tho ground .

I will not excite the unwary with golden visions, but every one who has visited that diggings must confess that it is what we call the poor man’s diggings. They went to a Chinese camp, about a quarter of a mile distant from the police camp, where about three hundred Chinese were workiug. . difficulties seen to be in a fair way of being all settled without bloodshed.

Some time during the night of Friday last her hus- band noticed her get out of bed to get a drink of tea from a *’ billy “ that stood in the place ; before she could raise it to her lips she fell and expired. Should there be a scarcity of water, their way of working is quite enough to exasperate, and would drive many (who per- haps possess more equanimity of temper than gold-dig ers) to extremes. Those Chinese who were not ‘gravely injured’ had all their belongings stolen. We were the half-castes who stood out like sore thumbs, neither here nor there; the dark kids in the class photo, all teeth and 1970s hair. Nothing else had been taken, an the leaders who-now promi- nently direct every movement declare that they will not allow robbery. Ten pounds per head was levied upon their arrival, and other measures taken to compel them to contribute to the revenue, so as to pay for the additional expenses caused by them. They laughed and jeered when Zouch and commissioner Griffin read the Riot Act, and after an advance and retreat, the crowd attacked the police. Not of rich ground, when quartz will pay at half an ounce to the ton. This fact is so generally known, and so clearly evident, that it excited no small merriment when this fiction was read at the diggings, and really no one would take the trouble to contradict such a gross fabrication, and I believe there is already one party who intends to claim the reward of the discovery. At this moment, the mounted men who had been posted at the rear of the’camp weie ordered to take advantage of this confusion,”and make a final chaige ; and no sooner was the’ order iehued than the cavalry were amongst the disorganised mass, galloping thiough and through’it,«“sabreing on M sides, and driving the now helpless, but Still vin- dictive, crowd back across the creek. Every man who promotes disorder is imposing a burden as well as a danger -upon the country, and increasing the difficulty of subsistence to his neighbours. Things remained in a perfect state of quiescence during the week, and it waa imagined by bohic that this outrage, like those which had preceded it, was to be allowed to die quietly out of memory, But in the interim, explicit instructions had been received from the Government to enfore the law by apprehending every one of the ringleaders in the last riot who could he identified. Then, men and fellow-miners, let us assert our rights before God and man—in the clear face of day—like free-born Britons and prevent ourselves from being trampled to the dust like dogs. Nine tenths of the Chinese that have been landed in Sydney, have been with the intention of making to Victoria, but with a new field like Lambing Flat it is only reasonable to expect that they would prefer the shorter distance to making their way to Victoria. Seven special constables came to the camp-two only armed. Con- trai y to their expectations, they were not joined by tile numbers they anticipated, and their work was consequently carried on upon a comparatively minor seule of destructiveneea. “ We are fully convinced that the miners are the very_ last men in the colony to ‘resort to any extreme or violent measures in opposition to the law or the general wish of the Government, but at the same time we beg to submit to you that it is our firm and thorough conviction that their détermination to pre- vent the presence of Chinamen uponthese gold-fields is so strong and decided that it behoves the Govern- ment to adopt such measures as .will tend’to conciliate the diggers in order to avoid what would otherwise result m a dire calamity. The non-commercial portion of our fellow citizens would perhaps rejoice – opposition is the life of trade, they would say. Mr. M’Lerie, assistant superintendent of the Southern patrol, with a’serjeant-mojor and eleven troopets, armed thia day from the Kiandra district. They appear to have taken no part in this affair ; but that men connected with business, &c., and supposed to be interested in upholding the law, should have identified themselves with these illegal proceedings is a disgrace upon the colony. Position, I found, un- tenable, against the numbers that were prepared to revenge the defeat of Sunday night. According to the correspondent: Some of the acts of barbarism said to have been committed here were such, that Englishmen can scarce be brought to credit that their country-men could be guilty of them—for whom amongst the British people could ever believe that men of their own country—Britons, would take the Chinese pigtails with the scalp attached. At about six o’clock on Friday morning (Queen’s birthday), the boom of the Artillery announced their departure-a salute of twenty-one guns was fired, which made every house in the town sliake, and then immediately started for Sydney, via Yass and Goulburn. Information ot the surround was sent off to those behind, who, eager for their prey, .were already on the road. Sunday, 11 p.m. By express to Yass on Saturday last it was pretty generally known that a roll up would take place to-day against the Chinese. letona miners ncross our borders, has not turned out so well as in the first instanco it promised to do Bj somo fntahtj, wo hnve been left almost m the dark willi regard to what has been going on hero for somo tuno past, and wo onlv now learn the real state of aft urs It 6cems tint tho sinking is ver) deep through a loose, wet soil, requiring tho shaft to bo slabbed and tho pumps to bo continual!) Amidst the greatest excitement and confusion a respectable miner named Dayton seconded the resolution. But at the present time, as there is no protection, and therefore no en- couragement for such laborious undertakings, the diggers are only scratching about, and not turning the ground to its most profitable use. He was married twice but had no children. Every road leading to this place is swarming with bushrangers, and there is no mounted force that affords any protection. Short Title and commencement. (Vehement cheering and cries of “Shame.”), So you see you have got nothing but a Chinaman’s word against a Christian’s oath in a court of justice. James Roberts is on Facebook. This is especially tho caso at tho Hanging Kock. They attacked and drove off from the Flat, on which by the authority of the Commissioners they were encamped, a body of forty Chinese, and «ete about to burn the tents and other property ot the Mongolians, when luckily Mr. Henley, the Chinese interpreter, arrived, and by his prompt inteiferencc and decided attitude saved the goods, and no doubt prevented scenes of violence and cruelty similar to those which subsequently occurred. Several boxes were placed together on a small hillock, with the Union Jacks on either side of them form a platform around which the dense assemblage collected, the Commissioner, with his seven troopers, all well armed, with detectives Carnes and Scarlett, occupying a position a short distance away. Water was always a scarce commodity at this field, and without that element the richest diggings are of very little avail. This at the very time when the future viability of the self employed, small scale alluvial miner was being questioned amidst the likelihood of NSW following Victoria down the path of independent diggers becoming a mere labour force to further the interests of mining companies. This prompted 1000 miners to attack the lock up where they were held in what proved to be NSW’s largest ever civil uprising. They were robbed of their picks, shovel», and cradles and other good!, , which were carried oil’ hy some Europeans. In the absence of any effective police force the new diggings were a fertile field for brigands such that a miners protection league was formed to look after the more sober elements of the community. They welcomed me with open arms as one of their family. I “ Mr. Cowper acknowledges the receipt of a docu- ment, purporting to be a copy of an addtess intended tobe presented to him on behalf of the Burragong miners ; but while he is most anxions to place him- self, without delay, in communication with those of the mining body who am the friends of secial order, and who are not already committed to a course of proceedings which must be subversive of alhgood government, he docs not perceive in the address any allegation that the seven persons whose signatures are attached claim to speak, or have any authority to speak, on behalf of the miners of the Burragong gold- fields.
