GOODS.
REGULATIONS—continued.
For each certificate of timber measurement supplied by the Railway Department at the request of consignors or consignees, 3d. per 100 superficial feet additional will be charged. Measuring of timber will be done only at the option of the Department.
(7.) Class M.
Cattle, Sheep, Pigs, Goats, and Calves, in Truck-loads, carried at Owners' risk.
No more animals are to be put into a truck than it will conveniently hold. One bonâ fide drover and his dogs will be allowed to accompany each consignment of not less than three trucks of live-stock. He will be furnished with a free return pass for himself and his dogs, available for a week. In cases where the stock is conveyed by more than one train a return pass will be issued for each train. The drover must travel by the same train as the stock, otherwise a pass will not be issued. Where drover travels by goods trains he will be required to take all risk of accident and to indemnify the Department against any responsibility in connection therewith.
When a consignment of less than three trucks of live-stock is sent by a goods train and a drover desires to accompany it, he may be permitted to do so on signing indemnity form and paying second-class fare for himself and ordinary rates for his dogs.
Drovers must ride in the Guard’s van or a second-class carriage, as may be directed by the Department.
Mixed consignments of cattle and horses will be charged separately or, as one lot, as cattle.
All animals must be loaded and unloaded by the owners at their own risk and responsibility.
Sheep and pigs conveyed in LA wagons will be charged two-thirds of the rate charged for J trucks.
Double-bogie wagons will be charged double rates.
Cattle, Calves, Sheep, Goats, and Pigs, in small lots,
May be charged at truck-load rate, or at the following rates:—
| For any Distance not exceeding 10 Miles. | For every Mile after the First 10 Miles. | |

| Calves (one year old and under), sheep, goats, or pigs, one only, carried loose | 2 6 | 2 |
| Calves, sheep, goats, or pigs, each additional one in the same truck, belonging to the same owner | 0 3 | 0½ |
Mixed consignments of horses and hounds will, at the option of the sender, be charged separately or, as one lot, as cattle.
Calves, sheep, goats, and pigs, such as are ordinarily sent to market for consumption, and stud pigs not exceeding £3 in value, properly secured in crates, baskets, or sacks, so as to prevent injury to other goods, may be sent as goods, Class A.: provided the total weight of each package does not exceed 2½ cwt. Crates weighing over 2½ cwt. will be charged rate and a half, Class A, or at the rate for cattle, calves, sheep, goats, and pigs in small lots if cheaper. In all such cases the Department reserves to itself the right to load such stock in a truck with other goods.
Valuable stud and show calves, sheep, goats, and pigs, properly secured in crates (the total weight of package not exceeding 2½ cwt.), will be charged rate and a half, Class A; in crates weighing over 2½ cwt., double rate, Class A. If loose they will be charged at the rate for cattle, calves, sheep, goats, and pigs in small lots.
