   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.

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 pas-
   sengers, the holders of periodical tickets shall have
   priority over holders of return and single tickets,

   Station Master, to the holders of such return and
   single tickets as shall be unable to obtain seats.

3. 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.

4. 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
   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.

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