with the approval of the Governor of New
Zealand, with the advice and consent of the
Executive Council, for regulating the travelling
upon and using of the railway from Addington
Station, on the Great Northern Railway, to

Passenger Traffic.

No person will be admitted to the booking office at
any station whilst the door is closed for making up
and despatching 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.

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.

If any person travel or attempt to travel in any
carriage on the railway without having previously
paid his fare, and with intent to avoid payment
thereof; or if any person, having paid his fare for a
certain distance, knowingly and wilfully proceed in
any such carriage beyond such distance without pre-
viously paying the additional fare for the additional
distance, and with intent to avoid payment thereof;
or if any person knowingly and wilfully refuse or
neglect, on arriving at the point to which he has paid
his fare, to quit such carriage, every such person shall
for every such offence be liable to a penalty not
exceeding forty shillings.

If any person be discovered either in or after com-
mitting or attempting to commit such offence as in
the preceding clause mentioned, all officers and ser-
vants and other persons on behalf of the Superin-
tendent, and all constables, gaolers, and peace officers,
may lawfully apprehend and detain such person until
he can be conveniently taken before some Justice, or
until he be otherwise discharged by due course of
law.

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

Every passenger, on arriving at the station for
which he or she may have taken a ticket, or to or from
which he or she may hold a periodical ticket, shall
quit the station and premises of the railway; and no
person shall be allowed to loiter about the stations,
wharf, or premises, or any part thereof; and if any
passenger or other person shall refuse to quit the
station, wharf, or premises aforesaid, on being re-
quested so to do by any Station Master or any servant
attached to the railway or wharf, such passenger or
person may be expelled by such Station Master or
other servant as aforesaid from the railway premises.

No gunpowder or other explosive or dangerous
material shall be carried by any passenger train.

Each passenger, on paying his fare, will be furnished
with a ticket, which he is to show whenever required
by any Station Master or authorized Porter, or by the
Guard in charge of the train; and if it be a return
ticket he must allow it to be marked when required;
and every ticket (whether single, return, or periodical)

must be delivered up on the demand of any Porter or
servant authorized to collect tickets. Single tickets
not used on the day of issue, or a return ticket not
used within the prescribed time, shall be deemed to be
cancelled. Any person offending against the provi-
sion of this regulation, shall be liable to a penalty not
exceeding five pounds.

Tickets are not transferable, and any person using
or attempting to use a transferred ticket, or a ticket
the time for the proper use of which has expired,
shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding five pounds.

Any person knowingly, and with intent to defraud,
travelling upon the railway in a carriage of a superior
class to that for which he is provided with a ticket,
or altering a return or other ticket, shall be liable to
a penalty not exceeding ten pounds.

Tickets, whether single or return, shall be used by
passengers only to convey them to the station named
thereon, or to a station short of that destination.
In no case, however, shall any "cheap excursion"
ticket be used for any other station than that for
which such ticket is issued. Any person using or
attempting to use a ticket in violation of the provi-
sion of this section, shall be liable to a penalty not
exceeding two pounds.

No person will be allowed to break his journey by
stopping at any intermediate station, and thereafter
proceeding by a subsequent train with the same
ticket, under a penalty not exceeding two pounds.

Any person, not duly authorized by the Superin-
tendent, who shall sell or offer for sale any free pass
ticket or portion of a return ticket, shall be liable to
a penalty not exceeding two pounds.

No male passenger shall be allowed to enter any
waiting-room or carriage set apart for the accom-
modation of females; and any person remaining in
any such room or carriage after being warned to
leave the same, shall be liable to a penalty not ex-
ceeding two pounds.

Any person, not being a railway servant, who shall
open any carriage for the purpose of entering the
same after the tickets have been examined and the
carriage doors locked by the person appointed for
that purpose, or who shall let himself out of any
carriage, or attempt to do so, at any station or at any
time during the journey, by the use of a private key
or other instrument, shall be liable to a penalty not
exceeding two pounds.

No person shall, without the consent of the
Superintendent or other authorized officer, travel

stances, or get into or upon or quit any railway
carriage when the train is in motion; and any person
doing so, or attempting to do so, shall be liable to a
penalty not exceeding two pounds.

Smoking is strictly prohibited in any of the railway
sheds, offices, or waiting-rooms, and any person found
so smoking shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding
two pounds.

Smoking is strictly prohibited in any railway
carriage except those set apart for the purpose; and
any person found smoking in a carriage not set

ceeding two pounds, and may be removed from the
carriage by any railway servant.
