BY-LAWS, RULES, AND REGULATIONS OF THE CHRISTCHURCH AND FERRYMEAD RAILWAY.

PASSENGER TRAFFIC.

1. No person will be admitted to the booking office at any station whilst the door is closed for making up and dispatching any train, and no Passenger will be allowed to take his or her seat in or upon any carriage used on the railway, or to travel therein upon the railway, without first having paid his or her fare and obtained a ticket.

2. Tickets will be issued conditionally; that is to say, in case there shall be room in the train for all the Passengers to whom tickets shall have been issued. If there shall not be room for all such Passengers, the Holders of periodical tickets shall have priority over Holders of return and single tickets, and the fare will be returned, on application to the Station Master, to the Holders of such return and single tickets as shall be unable to obtain seats.

3. Each Passenger, on paying his or her fare, will be furnished with a ticket, which he or she is to show whenever required by the Station Master, or Porter authorized by him, or by the Guard in charge of the train; and if it be a return ticket, he or she must allow it to be marked when required; and every ticket, whether single, return, or periodical, must be delivered upon demand of any Guard or other person authorized to collect the tickets.

4. No periodical ticket so delivered up will be retained unless the period for which the same was granted shall have expired (except in cases of infringement of either the 8th, 10th, or 11th sections of these by-laws).

5. Each Passenger not producing or delivering up his or her ticket will be liable to a penalty of £5.

6. Every person attempting to defraud the Lessees by travelling upon the railway without having previously paid his or her fare and obtained a proper ticket, or by riding in or upon a carriage of a superior class to that for which he or she has taken out a ticket, or by continuing his or her journey in or upon any of the carriages beyond the destination for which he or she has paid his or her fare, or by altering a return or periodical ticket, or endeavouring to use it after or beyond the time for which it was originally granted, or by attempting in any other manner to evade the payment of his or her fare, shall be liable to a penalty of £5.

7. No return or periodical ticket will be available for special trains.

8. No Passenger will be allowed to ride outside under any circumstances whatever, nor will any Passenger be allowed to get into or upon, or to quit any carriage after the train has been put in motion; and any person doing so, or attempting to do so, shall be liable to a penalty of £5, and be expelled from the railway premises, and forfeit his fare or ticket of whatever kind.

9. Dogs will be conveyed and charged for, but they will not on any account be allowed to accompany Passengers in the carriages.

10. Smoking is strictly prohibited in the carriages, except as after mentioned, and in and upon the stations and premises; and every person smoking in a carriage, except in the one that may be set apart as a smoking carriage, shall be liable to a penalty of £5; and every person persisting in smoking in a carriage except the smoking carriage, or in or upon any station or premises of the railway, after having been warned to desist, shall, in addition to such penalty, be immediately expelled.
