- Ballarat 30 November
- Information reached us last evening that a portion of the military force despatched from town on Monday had arrived, and that in passing through the diggings the soldiers were pelted with broken glass and other missiles by some diggers. Our informant adds that the military received this manifestation of feeling in the best possible temper, and did not attempt to irritate the mob by indulging in gestures or movements which might be interpreted to mean other than a friendly inclination to them. They were marched into Camp and had taken up quarters when our informant left. It will be remembered that yesterday was appointed for the day of the monster meeting on the Licence question."[1]
