The Lords appear to have a very poor opinion of the miners. While discussing clause 40 of the Counties Bill, Col. Whitmore said the making of water-races on goldfields was a waste of money. The country would have been more prosperous if gold had never been discovered. The pressure brought by miners had caused unnecessary roads to be made. The Hon. Capt. Fraser said it was unfortunate for the country that the Government was never strong enough to resist "the horse-leech cry " of the miners. The Hon. Mr Holmes ohjected to miners having votes. He was in Otago when miners first came there, and they "utterly revolutionised society" and "put back the settlement of the country many years."
