   used on the railway, or to travel therein upon the
   railway, without first having paid his or her fare and

   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 ex-
   ceeding 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 Superin-
   tendent, and all constables, gaolers, and peace officers,
   may lawfully apprehend and detain such person until
