XLI. The owners of "empties" must accept all risks
attending the carriage of the same.

XLII. A written receipt must be given by every consignee
or by the person authorised to receive any goods on the

As to Hackney-carriages, Express-carts, and Omnibuses.

XLIII. For the special purposes of the by-laws next
hereinafter set forth, the following expressions shall have

say, the words, "carriage-stand" shall mean the space or
spaces for the time being set apart by the company adjacent
to any of its railway-stations as a stand or stands for hack-
ey-carriages, express-carts, and omnibuses respectively.
The words "hackney-carriage," "express-cart," and "omni-
bus" shall respectively mean any vehicle licensed under
these by-laws as a hackney-carriage, express-cart, or omni-
bus for the conveyance for hire of passengers or passengers'
luggage or goods to or from a station. The word "driver"
shall mean the person licensed under these by-laws and for

express-cart, or omnibus; and the word "conductor" shall
mean any person, other than the driver, attending or accom-
panying any hackney-carriage, express-cart, or omnibus, to
assist in the management of the traffic thereof.

XLIV. No driver or conductor of a hackney-carriage,
express-cart, or omnibus shall ply therewith for hire to or
from any carriage-stand or station of the company unless
such driver and conductor respectively hold licenses under
these by-laws; and the driver or conductor of any hackney-
carriage, express-cart, or omnibus plying for hire without
such license may be treated by the company as a trespasser.
But this provision shall not be deemed to relieve him from
any penalty otherwise imposed by these by-laws.

issued by the manager.

ductor in the City of Wellington who is not for the time being

force of the Wellington City Council providing for the issue
of licenses in respect of hackney-carriages, express-carts, or
omnibuses within the district in which such driver or con-
ductor is carrying on his business; and every license issued
in the said city under these by-laws to any such driver or
conductor shall cease ipso facto to have any force or effect if

him shall, during the currency of any such license, cease to
be a duly-licensed vehicle under the said by-laws of the
Wellington City Council.

XLVII. Every license issued under these by-laws is to be
taken and deemed to be subject to immediate revocation by
the manager, and after such revocation the driver or con-
ductor holding the license shall be deemed to be no longer
licensed within these by-laws; and a notice in writing revok-
ing such license addressed to the holder thereof at the address
contained in his application and posted at the General Post
Office at Wellington to such address, shall be deemed to be a
sufficient revocation thereof from the time in which in due
course of post it would reach such address.

XLVIII. Every person requiring a license under these by-
laws shall apply for the same in writing, and his application
shall contain the following particulars:—
(1.) His name and address in full.

omnibus.

XLIX. Every person to whom any license is issued under
these by-laws shall, if the driver or conductor of a hackney-
carriage, omnibus, or express-cart, pay a fee of one shilling
for such license. There shall also be paid a license-fee of

bus, or express-cart; and such fees, whether for persons or
vehicles, must be paid to the manager before a license can
be issued.

L. Every license issued as aforesaid shall remain in force

carrying passengers, or passengers' luggage or goods, as the
case may be, to any station, or hailed from the stand for the
purpose of taking passengers or their luggage or goods, as
the case may be, from any station, shall draw up conveniently
to and shall move away from the station with all convenient
speed after discharging or taking up passengers, or luggage,
or goods, as the case may be, and shall, at all events, do so
immediately on receiving an order to proceed from any
servant of the company for the time being employed at the

without passengers, luggage, or goods, otherwise than by way
of the carriage-stand, or out of his proper turn or order, or
bringing a carriage from the stand to the station without
being hailed, or otherwise contrary to these by-laws, or dis-
obeying or disregarding any order to move given to him by
any such servant as aforesaid, will be deemed to have violated
these by-laws, and his license may forthwith be revoked in
manner aforesaid.

hackney-carriage, express-cart, or omnibus licensed under
these by-laws and plying for hire to or from the station, to

cil," made on the 1st September, 1890, or any amendment
thereof; and any driver or conductor charging a fare or sum
in excess of those specified in the said schedule or any amend-
ment thereof will be deemed to have violated these by-laws,
and his license may forthwith be revoked in manner afore-
said.

regulate the conduct of any driver or conductor, and the
approach to and departure from the station of any hackney-

conductor refusing to obey any order given to him by such
stationmaster or officer shall be deemed to have violated
these by-laws, and his license may be revoked in manner
aforesaid.
