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
previously paying the additional fare for the ad-
ditional 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
committing or attempting to commit such offence as
in the preceding clause mentioned, all officers and
servants and other persons on behalf of the Super-
intendent, and all constables, gaolers, and peace

person until he can be conveniently taken before
some Justice, or until he be otherwise discharged by
due course of law. -

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

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 fur-
nished 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 provision 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. -

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 provision 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. -

intendent 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. -

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
