    consignees or owners, or may be kept in the railway
    wagons at the option of the Railway Department,

    which a charge for storage will be made at the rate
    of two shillings and sixpence per ton per week or

    consignor.

    must be paid immediately to the person duly author-
    ized to receive the same.
    N.B.—The above conditions apply to all parcels
    and goods received by the railways, at their respective
    offices and warehouses, wherever situate.
