And whereas under the provisions of the said hereinbefore mentioned Acts and the enactments incorporated therewith, the Governor in Council is empowered to make Regulations and By-laws for the following purposes, that is to say:—

For regulating the mode by which, and the speed at which, carriages using the said rail-way are to be moved or propelled.

For regulating the times of the arrival and departure of any such carriages.

For regulating the loading or unloading of such carriages, and the weights which they are respectively to carry.

And generally for regulating the travelling upon or using and working of the said railway.

And whereas it is expedient that Regulations and By-laws should be made in respect of the said line of railway:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Administrator of the Government of New Zealand, with the advice and consent of the Executive Council thereof, and in exercise and pursuance of all powers and authorities enabling him in this behalf, doth hereby make the By-laws, Rules, and Regulations hereto annexed, as the By-laws, Rules, and Regulations to be in force with regard to the said line of railway from Dunedin to Clutha, for the purposes aforesaid.

BY-LAWS, RULES, AND REGULATIONS FOR REGULATING THE TRAVELLING UPON AND USING OF THE RAILWAY IN THE SAID PROVINCE.

Passenger Traffic.

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.

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 passengers the holders of periodical tickets shall have the priority over owners of return and single tickets, and the fare will be returned on application to the Station Master to the holders of such return and single tickets as shall be unable to obtain seats.

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 such carriage beyond such distance without previously paying the additional fare for the additional 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 forty shillings.

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 Superintendent, 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.

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

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, 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 Master or any servant attached to the railway or wharf, such passenger or person may be expelled by such Station Master or other servant as aforesaid from the railway premises.

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

Each passenger, on paying his fare, will be furnished with a ticket, which he is to show whenever required by any Station Master or authorised 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 demand of any Porter or servant authorised 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 offending against the provisions of this regulation shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding five pounds.

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 five pounds.

Any person knowingly, and with intent to defraud, travelling upon the railway in a carriage of a superior class to that for which he is provided with a ticket,
