Mining licences were one of the main reasons the rebellion started. Miners were sick of having to pay every month for a licence if they were caught  they would be tied to a bog until they paid five pounds. If you did not pay the five pounds you would be taken to prison. So they got together at a meeting and burned there licenses. But that did not make it any better. The soldiers sent spies out and collected information about what the diggers were going to do and when the time came they took the diggers by surprise and started the fight .
