THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE.

LUGGAGE, PARCELS, ETC.—continued.

  1. All charges payable on excess luggage must be prepaid, and the person delivering such luggage must obtain an excess-luggage ticket as a receipt for the charges paid, such ticket to be given up when the luggage is claimed. Passengers who fail to produce excess tickets for luggage on which excess charges are payable may be required to pay such charges before the luggage is delivered.

  2. An excess-luggage ticket is only a receipt for charges paid. The Department does not accept any responsibility for excess luggage unless it is checked as prescribed by Regulation 45.

  3. Goods which are accepted for carriage as luggage but which are not entitled to be carried free as such, and goods which are entitled to be carried free as luggage but which in the aggregate are over the weight allowed to be carried free, will (in the first case as to all such goods and in the second case as to the weight in excess of the free allowance) be charged for as follows:—
