 JPREIGHT AGENTS. 
 
 TLe Freiglit Agents at the Terminal Stations will be 
 required undei* the general instructions of the Superinten- 
 dent to manage all the Freight business of the road which- 
 may have connexion with their respective Depots. 
 
 They will be held lesnousible for the punctual dispatch 
 of Freight by the Trains and for the due delivery of such 
 as may arrive over the road, in accordance with the Way 
 Bills accompanying it, as well as for the regular shipment, 
 of such as is required to be forwarded over the Company's 
 Wharves. In all cases taking suflScient receipts for its de- 
 livery in the form that may be prescribed. 
 
 In . ^iispatching Freight it will be their duty to «ee that 
 it is properly loaded and so disposed as to be readily ac- 
 cessible, when destined for delivery at any of the: Way 
 Stations, and to take care that the Conductor so places the 
 Care in the tnain that they may be conveniently left 
 where required with the least possible delay. 
 
 It will be their most important duty to see that all goods 
 whether going Outwards or coming Inwards, are accom- 
 panied by Way Bills, i^ade out on the prescribed Forms, 
 and to have tlxera duly entered on the Books of their office, 
 and especially to asoertain*that the rates are levied accord- 
 ing to the established Tariff, or to such special contracts 
 as he may be advised of by the Superintendent, and to 
 report to him any deviation that may have been made by; 
 any of the Coaapany's Agents from those rates, 
 
 . ^t will be their duty to enquire into and report upon all 
 
1$ 
 
 cases where Freight may be claitned to have been lost or 
 where it has been detained, mifeent, or damaged ; to ascer- 
 tain, when possible, the cause thereof, and to make the 
 »p-me known to the Superintendent. 
 
 They are to keep an accurate record of all the Freight 
 business of their respective Termini, in such Forms or 
 Books as may be directed, and to make returns thei-eof to 
 the Superintendent, at such times and in such forms as 
 may be by him directed. 
 
 They are on no accolirit to deliver Freight to its 6whei?s 
 or consignees, until the charges are paid, unless in cases 
 where special directions to that effect may^ be given to 
 them in writing, by the Superintendent; nor are they to 
 deliver any without receiving a proper and sufficient 
 rtceipt therefor, be?iring in ramd that the goods must 
 always bo in their hands, or the charges must have been 
 eolhctid. 
 
 They are to Sign all Way Bills »f goods sent out as 
 i*reighit Ageiit Stodiiig," and all Way Bills of 
 Goods aniving as soon as the goods are checked off and 
 ascertained to be correct as "Freight Agent 
 Heoeiving," and these latter must be filed for reterenee 
 in the Freight Office. They are in no case te sign receipts 
 for goods to be forwarded, unless such rccei{)t8 are fur- 
 nished by the Consignor in duplicate, and one of them 
 retained in the Freight Office for reference ; such receipts 
 must fully describe the good?, and state the name and 
 address of the Consignee, and their weight, together with 
 the name of the Station to which they are to be sent aM 
 their fmther destination, if to be forwarded. Much iih- 
 
 wt* 
 
19 
 
 portance is attached to the strict enforcement of this rule.. 
 It is also their duty to see that the Conductor, Engi- 
 neer, Breaksmen, and all other persons employed on the- 
 Freight Trains, properly perform their duty, while engaged 
 about the Depot ; as they will then be considered as under 
 the direction of the Freight Agents, so far as the working 
 the Freight business is concerned. 
 
 They are to pay all monies received by them into 
 this office, at least once m each week, and oftener if 
 necessary, and to make out the Weekly and Monthly 
 Statement as required. 
 
 Generally it will be their duty to see that the " Freight 
 Tariff and Conditions," which may be in force at the time, 
 is strictly enforced.

 out of the Cars, and should in making it, stand near the 
 front end of the front Passenger Gar. It is his duty also

 person in charge of the fact, in order that he may give 
 notice thereof to other Conductors or pei"sons interested. 
 Trains when they are to be followed by Extra or irregular 
 Trains, MUST NOT on any account be STOPPED,

 he sees fit, the regular rates allowed on the TaWe/ or 
 slower rates, if the Track is in bad order, and to require of 
 him attention to the Rules of the Road ; negligence or 
 recklessness, on the part of an Engineman, will be taken 
 as a proof of the inefficiency of the Conductor; unless such 
 conduct . has been duly and distinctly repoi-ted, on every 
 occasion of its taking place. He will at the same time^ 
 treat the Engineman with that consideration due to his 
 very responsible duties; he is always to advise with 
 him in cases of difficulty; and when any doubt exists he,

 his reach, to have the Train forwarded with the least pos- 
 sible delay. When the Train is ready to proceed, the 
 Whistle Signal for wooding-up, will be used, to call in 
 the men stationed out. 
 
 19. — Great importance is attached to the prompt delivery 
 of Letters, Way Bills and Dispatches, consigned to the 
 care of a Conductor, and any neglect in this particular, will 
 be severely dealt with.

 his Train to do the business of the road.

 24. — He will have leisure on the road to examine the 
 Wheels, Brakes and Journals of his Cars, and can hav6 no 
 excuse for allowing them to be neglected, or the Journal^ 
 to become heated on the Road. It will therefore always be 
 presumed that the Conductor is inattentive to his duti^ 
 if they are neglected. 
 
 25. — It will be his duty to make himself acquainted as 
 far as practicable with the condition of the goods con- 
 veyed in the Train, and wlien they are so stowed as to be

 can be carried and handled without liability to damage.

 nor of other Packages, unless they have some loop or 
 strap, to which the checks can be attached ; and he will in 
 all cases attach a check to each piece of the Baggage 
 delivered to him, and hand the other to the owner of the

 ject the party in fault, to having to pay the damage sus- 
 tained by the Company, through his inattention.

 any Stauon Agent or Baggage* Master, he must take an

 same to the Superintendent's Office, at Toronto, at the 
 same time making diligent search for the missing article.

 remains .unclaimed at a Station more than one week, the 
 Agent must attach a Card to it, stating from what Station it 
 is sent, and where and by what Train it was left, and it must 
 then be forwarded to the Company's Office, at Toronto. In

 or permitted to take charge of an article to be carried in a 
 Passenger Train, unless the owner thereof accompanies it.

 Passenger, and all articles other than personal Baggage, 
 and all personal Baggage in excess of that amount, must 
 be charged for at double first class rates, for Freight on the 
 Freight Trains. 
 
 ,6,: — In all cases where money is collected by the Bag- 
 gage Master for Extra Baggage, he shall if attached to the 
 Train, hand the same to the Conductor, with a memo- 
 randum of the amount and the names of the persons from 
 whom he received it, and if the payments for extra Bag- 
 gage, is received by Baggage men attached to any Station

 Train, and that they are trimmed and, in good order. It 
 will be his urgent duty, whenever his Train is stoppod
