1. In the interpretation of these Regulations, the
   term "General Manager" shall mean the person
   who shall be General Manager of the railway, in
   accordance with the provisions of "The Railways
   Regulation and Inspection Act, 1873." The word
   "railway" shall mean and include each of the lines
   of railway described in the Second Schedule hereto.

2. 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.

3. Any person wilfully altering or defacing his
   ticket, so as to render the date, number, or any
   material portion thereof, illegible, shall be liable to a
   penalty not exceeding two pounds, and shall, in
   addition, be liable to pay the fare from the station
   whence the train originally started.

4. Tickets will be issued conditionally-that is to

   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
   exceeding forty shillings.

   committing or attempting to commit such offence as
   in the preceding clause mentioned, all officers and
   servants and other persons on behalf of the General
   Manager, 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.

   for special trains.
