   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 ten 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
   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,
   and the fare will be returned, on application to the
   Station Clerk, to the holders of such return and
   single tickets as shall be unable to obtain seats.

5. 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
   previously paying the additional fare for the addi-
   tional 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 ten pounds.

6. 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 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.

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

8. Every passenger, on arriving at the station for
   which he or she may have taken a ticket, or to or
   from which he or she may hold a periodical ticket,
   shall quit the station and premises of the railway;
   and no person shall be allowed to loiter about the
   stations, wharf, or premises, or any part thereof; and
   if any passenger or other person shall refuse to quit
   the station, wharf, or premises aforesaid, on being
   requested so to do by any Station Clerk or any
   servant attached to the railway or wharf, such pas-
   senger or person may be expelled by such Station
   Clerk or other servant as aforesaid from the rail-
   way premises.

9. No gunpowder or other explosive or dangerous
   material shall be carried by any passenger train.

10. Each passenger, on paying his fare, will be
    furnished with a ticket, which he is to show when-
    ever required by any Station Clerk or authorized
    Porter, or by the Guard in charge of the train; and
    if it be a return ticket, he must allow it to be marked
    when required; and every ticket (whether single,
    return, or periodical) must be delivered up on the
    demand of any porter or servant authorized to collect
    tickets. Single tickets not used on the day of issue,
    or a return ticket not used within the prescribed time,
    shall be deemed to be cancelled. Any person offend-
    ing against the provisions of this regulation shall be
    liable to a penalty not exceeding ten pounds.

11. Tickets are not transferable; and any person
    using or attempting to use a transferred ticket, or a
    ticket the time for the proper use of which has
    expired, shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding
    ten pounds.

12. Any person knowingly, and with intent to de-
    fraud, travelling upon the railway in a carriage of a
    superior class to that for which he is provided with a
    ticket, or altering a return or other ticket, shall be
    liable to a penalty not exceeding ten pounds.
