And whereas under the provisions of the said
hereinbefore mentioned Acts and the enactments
incorporated therewith, the Governor in Council is
empowered to make Regulations and By-laws for
the following purposes, that is to say, -

For regulating the mode by which, and the
speed at which, carriages using the said rail-
way are to be moved or propelled.
For regulating the times of the arrival and
departure of any such carriages.
For regulating the loading or unloading of such

respectively to carry.
For regulating the receipt and delivery of goods

connection with the said railway.
And generally for regulating the travelling upon
or using and working of the said railway.

And whereas it is expedient that Regulations and
By-laws should be made in respect of the said line
of railway:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Adminis-
trator of the Government of New Zealand, with
the advice and consent of the Executive Council
thereof, and in exercise and pursuance of all
powers and authorities enabling him in this be-
half, doth hereby make the By-laws, Rules,

Rules, and Regulations to be in force with regard to
the said line of railway from Dunedin to Clutha, for
the purposes aforesaid.

BY-LAWS, RULES, AND REGULATIONS FOR REGULAT-
ING THE TRAVELLING UPON AND USING OF THE
RAILWAY IN THE SAID PROVINCE.

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 the priority
over owners 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 evade 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 evade 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 ex-
ceeding forty shillings.
