As to Passengers.

II. No person (other than a person entering a train at a
flag-station as denoted in the time-table of the company for
the time being in force) will be entitled to travel in a train
unless furnished by the company with a ticket specifying the
class of the carriage and the stations for travelling between
which such ticket is issued, and every person claiming to be
a passenger shall show and deliver his ticket to any servant
for the time being engaged upon or in connection with the
train in which such person is travelling whenever required
to do so for any purpose whatever. And any person travel-
ling without a ticket (except from a flag-station to the first

booking-station denoted on the time-table of the company at
which the train shall arrive after he has entered it) shall be
liable to pay, and shall, on demand by any servant as afore-
said, pay to such servant the fare from the station whence
the train originally started to the end of the said passenger's
journey, wheresoever he may have entered the train.
III. Every person entering a train at a flag-station shall,
on demand by any servant as aforesaid, pay the fare from such
flag-station to the first booking-station at which the train is
to arrive, and if such passenger desires to travel beyond such
booking-station he shall, before doing so, obtain a ticket at
such booking-station for such further journey. And any
passenger travelling beyond such booking-station without
having obtained such ticket shall be deemed to be a passenger
travelling beyond the station to which his ticket entitles him
to travel within the provisions of by-law numbered IV.
IV. Every passenger shall leave the train at the station to
which his ticket entitles him to travel, and any passenger
desiring to travel, or who shall travel, beyond such station
shall, on demand by any servant as aforesaid, pay to such
servant the sum of one shilling in addition to the ordinary
fare for the extra distance which he shall have travelled
or shall desire to travel, and the said sum of one shilling
added to the said ordinary fare shall be deemed to be the
actual fare payable for such journey.
V. No passenger shall use or attempt to use a ticket on
any day for which it is not available, or a ticket which has
already been used on a journey.
VI. No passenger shall wilfully alter or deface his ticket
so as to render the date, number, or any other material part
thereof illegible.
VII. Tickets are the property of the company, and are in
no case transferable, and no person to whom a ticket has
been issued shall do any act by which any other person shall
be enabled to travel or attempt to travel therewith, and no
person other than the person to whom the same was issued
shall travel or attempt to travel therewith.
VIII. Every ticket shall be deemed to have been issued
conditionally upon there being room in the train for the
passenger to whom the same has been issued, and if there
be not room for all the passengers holding tickets the station-
master shall, on application for that purpose, determine the
priorities between the holders in accordance with general
written instructions in that behalf given to him by the
manager.
IX. No passenger shall be entitled to enter, or, having
entered, shall, without the leave of a servant as aforesaid, be
entitled to remain in, any carriage which at the time of such
entry shall contain the full number of persons which it is
constructed to carry, and any person who shall have entered
a carriage under such circumstances shall leave it imme-
diately upon being requested to do so by any such servant.
X. No male passenger shall be entitled to enter or remain
in any waiting-room or other place or any carriage or com-
partment set apart for female passengers.

lowing, that is to say:—

carriage or compartment especially appointed for
that purpose.

carrying therein, any luggage, package, or parcel
for which there is not room under the seat occu-
pied by such passenger or in the rack above such
seat.
(3.) Wilfully do any damage, injury, or spoil to any part
of any carriage or to any other property of the
company.

upon any carriage, wagon, truck, or other vehicle
forming part of a train, any loaded firearms.
(5.) Take into any passenger-carriage any dog or other
animal or any caged bird.
(6.) Enter into or travel in any passenger-carriage ex-
cept such as shall be specially appropriated for
the purpose whilst suffering from any infectious
or contagious disease or disorder, or enter into or
travel in any passenger-carriage except as afore-
said whilst having charge of any passenger suffer-
ing as aforesaid.
(7.) Enter or leave or attempt to enter or leave any car-
riage whilst the train is in motion.

any passenger-carriage.
