IN compiling this book the object of the Author
hns been to set forth in a convenient and acces-
sible form the Law relating to the Carriage of
Goods by Railway.
With this view the book has been divided into
Two Parts. The First Part deals with the statu-
tory enactments and decided cases relating to the
carriage of goods, while the Second Part comprises
the Provisional Orders of the Board of Trade as
to Railway Rates and Charges on the Railways
of Great Britain and Ireland as they have been
confirmed by the various Acts of Parliament of
the years 1891 and 1892.
The chapters on the general Law relating to
the Carriage of Goods have been kept as concise
as possible, and although it is hoped that the
main points of principle have been fairly covered,
an exhaustive treatise has not been intended.
The last chapter in the First Part of the book
deals with Arbitrations under the Board of Trade
Arbitrations Act, 1874, and the Arbitration Act,
1889. This has been introduced in consequence
of the number of compulsory references to arbi-
tration provided for by the general conditions of
the Provisional Orders.
In the Second Part, which deals with the Pro-
visional Orders, the plan adopted has been to
a 2

consider, first, those provisions which are common
to all the companies, and afterwards those which
are special to particular schedules or companies.
The number of Railways dealt with in these
Provisional Orders is considerable, the mere
enumeration of them occupying some seventeen
pMires of this book, and in the case of the smaller
Railways it may sometimes be difficult to ascer-
tain by what schedule a particular Railway is
governed. It is hoped, however, that in such
cases the Index of these Railways may be of
service ; and that the Table of Contents and
Index, together with the cross-references intro-
duced into the text, may allow easy reference
from one part of the book to another.
In order to afford a ready comparison of the
maximum powers of the different companies, a
synopsis of the Maximum Rates contained in the
Provisional Orders has been prepared, and will
be found in the Appendix ; as also will Tables of
all the more important Maximum Rates worked
out for distances up to 200 miles. While in
another Table the mileage and other allowances
of the different Companies are collected.
In the body <>f the text the reference given to
cases cited is that of the author i/ed reports. In
the Index of Cases, however, the references to
contemporary reports also are collected.

RAILWAY RATES
CARRIAGE OF MERCHANDISE BY RAILWAY,
INTRODUCTION.
THE RAILWAY RATES PROVISIONAL ORDERS.
THE provisions as to railway rates which are the subject
of Part II. of this book originated in sect. 24 of the Bail-
way and Canal Traffic Act, 1888 (), under which every
railway company was ordered to submit to the Board of
Trade a revised classification of merchandise traffic, and a
revised schedule of maximum rates and charges applicable
thereto, and to fully state in such classification and schedule
the nature and amounts of all terminal charges proposed
to be authorized in respect of each class of traffic, and the
circumstances under which such terminal charges were
proposed to be made.
The Board of Trade were then to consider the classifi-
cation and schedule supplied by each company, and any
objections made thereto, and, on the loth October, Ifc89,
Lord Balfour of Burleigh and Mr. Courtenay Boyle, on
behalf of the Board of Trade, commenced a long inquiry
into the classifications and schedules submitted to them,
and the objections to the same, hearing the railway com-
panies on the one hand in support of their classifications
and schedules, and the traders on the other in support of
(a) 51 & 52* Viet.: tf ?5.
D. ]{
INTRODUCTION,
their objections. The inquiry lasted far into the summer
of 1890, and in the result the Board of Trade were unable
to agree with the railway companies upon their respective
classifications and schedules.
Under the provisions of the same section of the Act of
1888 (b), the Board of Trade therefore made out the
classification and schedules which they thought ought to
be adopted by nine of the principal English companies (c) ,
and embodied the same in the provisional orders which
were submitted to Parliament in the session of 1891.
The bills confirming these provisional orders, with the
various petitions against them, were referred to a joint
committee, who reported on them towards the close of
July, 1891, and they have now been passed by Parliament
and were to come into force on the 1st of August, 1892,
but by order of the Board of Trade that date has been
altered to the 1st of January, 1893.
In the Session of 1892, the provisional orders relating
to the remaining English companies and to the Irish and
Scotch companies were confirmed by Parliament. They
come into force on the 1st of January, 1893, or such later
date as the Board of Trade may direct.
There are in all thirty-five provisional orders, of which
twenty-seven are applicable to the English, one to the
Irish, and seven to the Scotch Eailway Companies. The
provisional order is in each case formal, and has appended
to it a schedule containing (a) the general conditions ;
(b) the special conditions (if any) ; (c) the maximum rates
and charges ; and (d) the classification of traffic applicable
to the railways to which the order applies. The confirm-
ing Act, the provisional order, and the classification of
traffic are in all cases similar, but for the change in the
name of the company.

THE RAILWAY RATES PROVISIONAL ORDERS. 3
The general conditions applicable to all the English General con-
companies (except the North Eastern) and to the Irish
companies are similar, and under the circumstances it has
not been considered necessary to print them separately for
each company, but the case of the London and North
Western has been taken as typical of the English and Irish
companies. The general conditions of the Scotch com-
panies and the North Eastern being slightly different from
those of the English and Irish companies, they will be
found separately, the Caledonian company being taken as
representative. In the very few cases in which a clause in
the general conditions of any company differs from the
type attention is called to it in a note(<7). The special
conditions and the maximum rates and charges vary for
nearly every company.
In many cases a provisional order is applicable not only
to the company from which it takes its name, but also to
other companies or railways as well. This has been effected
(1) by including such other company in the heading of the
order ; or (2) by placing the company or railway in an Ap-
pendix to the Schedule, and adding a clause to the general
conditions applying the order to the companies and railways
contained in the Appendix. This distinction has been pre-
served, but the effect is probably the same in either case.
An alphabetical list of railways, showing the provisional
order by which each is governed, will be found at p. 529.

The order in each case consists of four clauses, and pro- The Order,

each company. The first nine clauses refer to the nature
of the various charges authorised ; then follow ten clauses
giving the method to be adopted in calculating and
fixing the rates and charges, while clauses 20 to 26 inclu-
sive contain miscellaneous provisions, clause 26 being an
interpretation clause. Then clause 27 makes the foregoing
twenty-six clauses applicable to merchandise conveyed by
passenger train. And finally, if the schedule contains an
appendix, clause 28 applies the schedule to the railways
set out therein. If there is no appendix, this clause is absent.
The special provisions and exceptions relating to parti-
cular portions of the lines of railway, are, of course,
different in the case of each railway, and come immediately
before the maximum rates for conveyance (which vary for
different companies), and maximum terminals, which are the
same in the case of each company for the same class of goods.
Parts II., III., IV., V., and VI., are practically the
same for all the English companies.
Classification. The classification of traffic (if) comes last in the schedule,
and is the same for all the companies. Perhaps this is
one of the most important achievements of the Board of
Trade and Parliament, so far as these orders are concerned.
By this classification merchandise traliic is split up into
eight classes, wherein it follows the Clearing House classi-
fication, which has been in force between the railway

Jurisdiction.
The jurisdiction conferred on the Court of Common
Pleas by the Traffic Act of 1854 (/), and that conferred
on the old Railway Commissioners by the Regulation of
Railways Act, 1873 (.(/), the Board of Trade Arbitrations
Act, 1874 (//), the Telegraph Act, 1878 (i), and the Cheap
Trains Act, 1884 (/), is now vested in the Railway and
Canal Commission (I) ; and, in addition, several fresh
powers are conferred upon them by the Act of 1888 itself.
This jurisdiction, besides including some matters which
are not pertinent to the subject of this book, embraces
the following heads, which require to be separately dealt
with :
Undue Preference.
Facilities for Traffic.
Traffic on Steamboats.
Through Rates.
Rate Books.
Terminals.
The legality of Rates.
Obligations contained in Special Acts.
Provisions relating to Private Branch Railways or

Finally, the Court is a court of record (m), and of
co-ordinate jurisdiction with the Queen's Bench Division,
and bound by their decisions (n), and an appeal will lie on
any question, not being a mere question of fact or of locus
standi, straight to the Court of Appeal (o).

Commission,
Under the Traffic Act of 1854 (p), " any company or
person " was empowered to make complaint to the Court
of Common Pleas of a contravention of that Act, and upon
the certificate of the Board of Trade the Attorney- General
or Lord Advocate were given the like power.

unfair treatment to which he is subjected by a railway
company.
Section 31 of the Traffic Act of 1888 provides as
follows :
Sub-s. (1). " Whenever any person receiving or sending Complaints
or desiring to send goods by any railway is of opinion TradTof ui
that the railway company is charging him an unfair or an reasonable
unreasonable rate of charge, or is in any other respect ra iiway
treating him in an oppressive or unreasonable manner, companies,
such person may complain to the Board of Trade."
Sub-s. (2) . "The Board of Trade, if they think that there
is reasonable ground for the complaint, may thereupon
call upon the railway company for an explanation, and
endeavour to settle amicably the differences between the
complainant and the railway company."
Sub-s. ('*). " For the purpose aforesaid, the Board of
Trade may appoint either one of their own officers, or any
other competent person to communicate with the com-
plainant and the railway company, and to receive and

made in reference to the complaint ; and the Board of
Trade may pay to such last-mentioned person such remu-

Sub-s. (4). " The Board of Trade shall from time to time
submit to Parliament reports of the complaints made to
them under the provisions of this section, and the results
of the proceedings taken in relation to such complaints,
together with such observations thereon as the Board of
Trade shall think fit."
Sub-s. (5). "A complaint under this section may be
made to the Board of Trade by any of the authorities
mentioned in section seven of this Act, in any case in
which, in the opinion of any of such authorities, they or
any traders or persons in their district are being charged
unfair or unreasonable rat^s by a railway company ; and
all the provisions of this section shall apply to a complaint

so made as if the same had been made by a person entitled
to make a complaint under this section."
Where a person interested in through traffic by railway
or canal is desirous of obtaining a through rate under
sect. 25 of the Act of 1888, the making of a complaint to
the Board of Trade under this section is, as we shall see (c) 9
a necessary preliminary to an application to the Eaihvay
Commissioners.
The Board of Trade regard this conciliatory jurisdiction
as only to be exercised in cases of small or of only par-
ticular importance. They say :
"Although in the opinion of the law officers of the
crown, 'the conciliatory jurisdiction of the Board of
Trade under this section is not excluded merely by reason
that a complaint involves questions of undue preference,
or by reason that questions of undue preference may ariso
in relation to a settlement suggested by the Board of
Trade,' the Board of Trade consider that it would be futile
to attempt to arrange, without power of enforcing their
determination, questions of large importance which need
the action of a High Court, and desire to direct their
attention chiefly to such cases of limited or particular im-
portance as would justify the suggestion of a settlement
on their part" (/).

CHAPTEE III.
DUE AND REASONABLE FACILITIES.
SECTION 2 of the Traffic Act, 1854 (17 & 18 Viet. c. 31),
provides :
" Every railway company, canal company, and railway Facilities,
and canal company shall, according to their respective
powers, afford all reasonable facilities for the receiving
and forwarding and delivering of traffic upon and from
the several railways and canals belonging to or worked by
such companies respectively, and for the return of car-
riages, trucks, boats, and other vehicles ; and no such Undue
company shall make or give any undue or unreasonable pre lce *
preference or advantage to or in favour of any particular
person or company, or any particular description of traffic,
in any respect whatsoever, nor shall any company subject
any particular person or company, or any particular descrip-
tion of traffic, to any undue or unreasonable prejudice or
disadvantage in any respect whatsoever ; and every railway Through
company, and canal company, and railway and canal com- traffic -
pany, having or working railways or canals which form
part of a continuous line of railway, or canal, or railway and
canal communication, or which have the terminus, station,
or wharf of the one near the terminus, station, or wharf of
the other, shall afford all due and reasonable facilities for
receiving and forwarding all the traffic arriving by one of
such railways or canals by the other, without any unrea-
sonable delay, and without any such preference or advan-
tage or prejudice or disadvantage as aforesaid, and so that
no obstruction may be offered to the public desirous of
using such railways or canals or railways and canals as a
continuous line of communication, and so that all reason-
able accommodation may, by means of the railways and
16 CARRIAGE OF MERCHANDISE BY RAILWAY.
canals of the several companies, be at all times afforded to
the public in that behalf."
In dealing with this section, in the Hastings Case (a),
Lord Selborne said : The obligations imposed upon railway
companies by this statute "are substantially three in
number : First, a positive obligation to afford, according
to their respective powers, all reasonable facilities for the
receiving, forwarding, and delivering of traffic, upon and
from the several railways and canals belonging to or
worked by such companies respectively, and for the return
of carriages, trucks, boats, and other vehicles " . . . . ;
the second obligation is to give no undue preferences ; the
third, to do whatever may be necessary to enable the
company's own line, and any other line connected with or
having a terminus near it, to be used by the public as a
continuous line of communication.
The important question of through rates will be dealt
with separately, p. 63, and that of undue preference,
p. #2.
Obligations Before the passing of this statute railway companies
of goods" 8 ^ were bound to carry troops (b), and they are now bouud to
carry mails (c) ; but otherwise the duty of railway com-
panies to carry any particular class of goods depended
upon whether they did or did not profess to carry
such goods as common carriers. The Railways Clauses
Consolidation Act, 1845, did not impose on them any
duty to carry goods of which they were not common
carriers by their own conduct and profession (d). The

was no binding agreement between the shipowners and the
railway company to ensure a continuance of the traffic, and
the railway company had no power to make a goods
station without acquiring fresh land (b) . And that although
continuous communication existed between the passenger
station and the goods station.
There is no obligation on railway companies to establish Booking office
booking offices on places off their line of railway for the
collection of traffic, because, although it is for the benefit
of places situate some miles from a railway that there
should be persons to collect and deliver goods regularly as
carriers, a railway company is not responsible for making
arrangements for carrying by road in addition to its proper
business of carrying by railway (c) .
Through booking of traffic is a facility which railway Through
companies ought to give (d) ; and where railways owned ]
by different companies are coterminous and form a con-
tinuous line (c) , the companies are bound to use their
utmost diligence in sending traffic by their respective
routes (/)// A route will not, however, be considered a
continuous line of railway communication until the works
necessary for interchange of traffic at a junction on the
route have been sanctioned by the Board of Trade (g).

so the facilities they are required to afford are extended or

The Railway and Canal Commission have now been
given a very wide jurisdiction to enforce obligations im-
posed upon railway companies by special Acts (j) . These
obligations are of a very varying character, and are too
numerous and of too special a character to be discussed
here, but the special Acts of any particular railway com-
pany must be referred to in order to ascertain the obliga-
tions of that company.
From the decisions of the Court of Common Pleas under
the Traffic Act of 1854, it would seem that, to obtain an
order for due and reasonable facilities against a company,
the facility required must be of a more or less public
character, and that an order would not be made to remedy
a mere private grievance (k) ; and on similar grounds the
old Railway Commissioners have refused to order a railway
company to construct a private siding for the convenience
of a particular trader (/).
A railway company is under no obligation (apart from
any specific provisions in its special Acts) to establish a
station at any particular place along its line (HI), or, having
established it, to provide it with every possible facility ; it
is sufficient if the accommodation provided is sufficient

having regard to the class of traffic at the station (;?) ; but,
if a railway company with sufficient powers keep its
platforms and booking offices in such a state as to cause
dangerous and obstructive confusion, it is guilty of a con-
travention of this section of the Act of 1854 (0). On the
other hand, where a particular station of a company was
already fully occupied by mineral traffic, and the company
were not able to enlarge it without getting additional
powers from Parliament, on the application of a trader
asking that the company might be ordered to deliver
perishable merchandise to him at the station in question
instead of at a neigbouring station, the Commissioners
refused to order the company to do so (/;). And a few
instances of traffic consigned to a place by a particular
route (q) 9 or by a particular carrier (r), and inadvertently
sent to the consignee in another manner, are no ground
for an injunction under the Traffic Acts, though they may
become so if sufficiently frequent to amount to an undue
prejudice of the particular route or particular carrier ().
Whether the Eailway and Canal Commission have
power to order a railway company to turn a passenger
station into a goods station also is doubtful, but they will
not do so where, if they did so, the railway company would
be compelled to acquire new land in order to comply with
the order, as such a course would not be reasonable (t).
Where a siding has been conveniently planned to enable Sidings :

reasonable facility that the railway company should run
their engine over a portion of the siding without extra
payment, in order to collect the trader's trucks, if the
trucks have been arranged in proper order as near the
main line as they could be with safety (u) .
By the schedule to the Provisional Orders (*), it is now
provided that a company may charge for services rendered
by the company at or in connection with sidings not
belonging to the company, when rendered to a trader at
his request or for his convenience, a reasonable sum by
way of addition to the tonnage rate. The question is
whether this provision alters the decisions above referred
to. Probably that will -to some extent be so. Provision
is made for the determination of what is a reasonable sum,
which will therefore be in the nature of a quantum Htentit,
and the railway company will therefore be able to
recover the equivalent of any work actually performed by
them.
The facilities which a railway company will be ordered
to provide in connection with sidings must depend on the
powers given and obligations imposed upon them, but in
suitable cases signalling (w), and the supply of trucks when
required (a?), have been ordered.
Whether the old Railway Commissioners had any power
to order the provision of a private siding as a facility may
be doubtful. They refused to make such an order where
the result would have been that the general traffic of the

But in another case where a railway company had
wrongfully taken up and removed rails forming the con-
nection of a branch railway or siding with the railway
company's main line, the Commission Court ordered and
enjoined the railway company forthwith to restore the
communication between the siding and their main line
at their own expense (in).
It seems that where a trader has a siding upon his own
land, working from his own land on to the railway com-
pany's premises, and there is no evidence of any agree-
ment under which the sidings and the openings in the
railway company's line have been made, the presumption
is that the siding and openings were made under the
statutory powers contained in sect. 76 of the Railways
Clauses Act, 1845 ; and that this presumption is not
rebutted by the fact that the railway company have been
in the habit of repairing the portion of the communication
on their own land, and in isolated cases have executed
repairs on the private siding (n).
In this connection it should be observed, that in the
schedule to the Provisional Orders (o), power is expressly
reserved to the railway company to make, in addition to the
charges specified in the schedule, charges and payments by
way of rent or otherwise for sidings and other structural
accommodation, provided or to be provided for the private
use of traders, and not required by the company for
dealing with the traffic for the purposes of conveyance;
provided that the amount of such charges or payments is
fixed by an agreement in writing, signed by the trader, or
by some person duly authorized on his behalf, or deter-
mined in case of difference by an arbitrator to be
appointed by the Board of Trade.

DUE AND REASON A HI.1, FACILITIES. 29
Whether the making of illegal or excessive rates and Excessive
charges for the carriage of goods is a refusal of reasonable c
facilities within the meaning of the section, so as to amount
to a contravention of the Traffic Acts, has been a question
on which judicial opinion has somewhat differed. In a
Scotch case (JL>), where a company issued a notice that they
would not be common carriers of a particular class of
goods, and would not carry them except at special rates
and under a special agreement, the old Railway Commis-
sioners considered that this constituted a refusal of reason-
able facilities for this class of goods in respect of which an
injunction might be issued against them (q) ; and this
decision was confirmed on appeal by the Scotch Court of
Session, who held that such specially high charges at all
events constituted an " undue prejudice and disadvantage "
of that particular class of goods, which the Commissioners
had power to restrain (r) . This case was under considera-
tion in the English Courts in Brown's Case (*), where a
passenger had been charged a fare in excess of the maxi-
mum authorized. The Divisional Court and the Court of
Appeal, whilst generally approving the Aberdeen case (),
held that charges by a railway company, made in excess of
their statutory maximum, did not constitute a case for
injunction under the Traffic Acts, in the absence of evi-
dence that traffic had actually been stopped by such
charges. Brett, L. J., there said : " The complaint is
founded solely upon the allegation that there has been an
overcharge in the sense that the charge was higher than

the amount which the company were entitled to exact.
There is no statement that the overcharge was made with
the intent to prevent the carriage of any passenger or the
progress of any train ; and there is no statement that the
overcharge is of such an amount or of such a nature as
would prevent the carriage of any passenger or the for-
warding of any train at all ; and it is on account of the
absence of these allegations that it seems to me that the
Eailway Commissioners had no jurisdiction to entertain the
matter. If there was a statement in the complaint that the
overcharge was done with the intent to stop the running
of a train, or prevent a certain number of trains going, as
at present advised, I should think it was matter within the
jurisdiction of the Eailway Commissioners, because such
would prevent the carriage of passengers ; and I am also
inclined to think that if the statement of the complaint
were that there was not simply an overcharge, but an
overcharge so great that it did in fact prevent passengers
going by trains, or did in fact prevent any train being put
on the line which ought to be there, that that would give
them jurisdiction, and that it would be the duty of the
Commissioners to entertain the application."
The Eailway Commissioners, in Young v. Gicacndretli
Valky Ry. Co. (u), held that excessive charges imposed on
traffic subjected it to unreasonable disadvantage, and
amounted to an infringement of the Traffic Act of 1854.
The question was again raised in a slightly different
form in the case of The Dixtimjtnn Iron Co. v. L. fy N. W.
llij. Co. (/). In that case, the applicants, being charged
excessive rates for their traffic, remonstrated against the
charges as excessive and calculated to injure their business,
and wrote a letter to the railway company in which they
stated their intention not to pay more than the legal
charges, and the company thereupon told them that, unless
(u) 4 B. & Mac. 247.

the letter was withdrawn, they would not receive or carry
their traffic. The Commissioners, oppressed, no doubt,
with the difficulty of reconciling these two decisions, held
that this constituted a distinct tender of the traffic by the
applicants, and a refusal by the company to receive it,
except on terms which they were not warranted in exacting,
and that this constituted a denial of reasonable facili-
ties. The Divisional Court (ic) , however, refused to adopt
this view, but held that the case was governed by Brown's
i.r), being merely a charge made by the railway com-
pany in excess of their statutory powers.
In spite of the approval the Aberdeen case received in
Broicii's case, it is difficult to reconcile satisfactorily the
dicta of the judges of the Court of Session in the Aberdeen
case with those of the judges in the two English cases
above referred to (y) ; but the question has not now the
importance that it once had, as the Railway and Canal
Commission have now been expressly given jurisdiction in
any question or dispute involving the legality of any toll,
rate, or charge (z) .

Scotch and English Courts have arrived at different conclusions.
See pp. 53, 61. Where any such disputed question arises, the
Railway and Canal Commission Court will be bound by the deci-
sion of the Courts of the country in which it is sitting (see Macfar-
lane v. N. B. Ry. Co., 4 B. & Mac. 206 ; Menzies v. Cal. Rij. Co., 5

CHAPTEE IV.
THE EQUALITY CLAUSE AND UNDUE PREFERENCE.
WHEN railway companies obtained their earliest Acts for
the formation of their lines, but few restrictions were placed
on their dealings with their customers, it being, no doubt,
anticipated that the competition to which they would be
subjected by other forms of land carriage would render
legislation unnecessary. But when it was found that the
railway companies had obtained, not only a monopoly of
the traffic on their own lines, but almost a complete
monopoly of land traffic between the places connected by
railway communication, and that places where competitive
means of transit, as by sea or canal, were still left, enjoyed
a disproportionate advantage, it was considered necessary
to place certain restrictions on the dealings of railway
companies with their customers to secure fairness of treat-
ment. To secure this equality of treatment, various legis-
lative enactments have been passed, and various obligations
have from time to time been imposed upon railway com-
panies in their private Acts. One of the earliest public
enactments having this object in view is sect. 90 of the
Railways Clauses Act, 184 j (a), often known as the
Equality Clause. It is as follows :
Sect. 90, Rail- " And whereas it is expedient that the company should be

modate them to the circumstances of the traffic, but that
such power of varying should not be used for the purpose

of prejudicing or favouring particular parties, or for the
purpose of collusively and unfairly creating a monopoly,
either in the hands of the company or of particular parties ;
it shall be lawful therefore for the company, subject to the
provisions and limitations herein and in the special Act
contained, from time to time to alter or vary the tolls by the
special Act authorized to be taken, either upon the whole
or upon any particular portions of the railway, as they
shall think fit ; provided that all such tolls be at all times
charged equally to all persons, and after the same rate,
whether per ton per mile or otherwise, in respect of all
passengers, and of all goods or carriages of the same
description, and conveyed or propelled by a like carriage
or engine, passing only over the same portion of the line
of railway under the same circumstances ; and no reduction
or advance in any such tolls shall be made, either directly
or indirectly, in favour of or against any particular
company or person travelling upon or using the railway."
It has been decided that an action will lie under this Enforced by
section for refusing to carry for a particular person upon actlon -
the same terms as for others (b) 9 and also that, where
excessive charges have been made by a company in contra-
vention of this section, an action for money had and
received will lie to recover back the excess of the charges
so made, if they have been paid under protest, or in
ignorance of the facts (c) , and in such a case, the amount
to be recovered must be calculated by ascertaining what
quantity of goods was carried over the line at the higher
rate under the same circumstances, and over the same
portion of the line, at the time the lower rate was charged
to another trader (d) .

Packed Further, the words " goods of the same description " and
" under the same circumstances " are used with reference,
not to the contents of the parcels consigned for carnage,
but to the parcels themselves (i.e., like or different for
purposes of carriage) , and with reference to the conveyance
of the goods, and not to the persons who send them. And,
hence, packed parcels, whatever their contents, are goods of
the same description within this section, and whether sent
by another carrier, or by a wholesale dealer are of the same
description for the purposes of this section (V). And also,
the fact of the goods being about to be applied for
different purposes after arriving at their destination (as
where the goods were to be used by one customer for
shipping to a particular port to open a new market and so
increase the tonnage carried), does not constitute a differ-
ence in the circumstances under which the goods are
carried (/) .
And in this section, the word " tolls " is not confined, as
in certain other places in the Eailways Clauses Act, to tolls
strictly so called for the use of the railway only, but it
includes the rates and charges ordinarily made (g).
But, notwithstanding this, the clause is of limited appli-
cation, for the part of the section relating to equality of
tolls only applies when the journey is between the same
points of departure and arrival (//). It has, therefore, no
application to the case of lower rates being charged for a
long than a short distance (z), nor to a case where charges
are made in pursuance of a traffic agreement with another

affecting the case, take into consideration whether such
lower charge or difference in treatment is necessary for the
purpose of securing in the interests of the public the
traffic in respect of which it is made, and whether the
inequality cannot be removed without unduly reducing the
rates charged to the complainant. Provided that no
railway company shall make, nor shall the Court, or the
Commissioners, sanction any difference in the tolls, rates,
or charges made for, or any difference in the treatment of
home and foreign merchandise in respect of the same or
similar services.
" (3.) The Court or the Commissioners shall have power
to direct that no higher charge be made to any person for
similar services in respect of merchandise carried over a
less distance than is made to any other person for similar
services in respect of the like description and quantity of
merchandise carried over a greater distance on the same
line of railway."
The results of this enactment have been explained as Result,
follows. Sub- sect. (1) makes it clear that all the specific
things there mentioned are within the cognizance and
jurisdiction of the Railway and Canal Commission Court.
It also facilitates the course of a complainant by making
it perfectly clear that the various classes of differential

treatment enumerated are prima facie objectionable, and
will be restrained, unless they can be justified (/).
Sub-sect. (2), however, enlarges the area of discussion in
the consideration of a case of undue preference (j) ; and,
as in making an order on a railway company to desist from
a preference, the Court can make no order as to how the
inequality is to be redressed, but the company may either
level up the lower rate, or level down the higher one, or do
both, the result of the section is that if, on a case of un-
due preference being primd facie established, the railway
company can satisfy the Court that to level up would
destroy a traffic which in the public interest ought to be
secured, and also (k) that to level down would be to effect
an "undue reduction," it follows that neither the one
method of redressing the inequality, nor the other, nor a
combination of the two, ought to be adopted, and there-
fore the order ought not to be made. In other words, the
state of things which creates the preference has been justi-
fied, and the preference ceases to be " undue " within the
meaning of the legislation (/) .
Public The question as to what constitutes the "public interest"
must always be a difficult one. The Court, in the case re-
ferred to, took a somewhat uncertain view, but in a later
case (m) correcting their previous decision, held that the
public intended is the public of the locality or district
affected, and that any considerable slice of the population
in general, as opposed to an individual or association of
individuals, would satisfy the definition.
In a case before the passing of the Act of 1888 before
the old lijiihvuy Commissioners, the question of the interest

issued against a railway company if it prefer itself as a
Carrier by road, after the transport by railway has come to
an end, over other carriers by road (?), or if the railway
company prefer its own agents to other carriers (w), or so
act as to give its agents an undue advantage over other
carriers (/). In a recent case, Wills, J., thus stated the
question, " If a railway company have completed the con-
tract they have entered into with their customer without
default, anything which may happen by the action of
anyone else is not a matter for which they are liable ; but
as long as their contract with their customer remains, they
must take care that in the performance of that contract, so
far at least as they can prevent it, the customer does not
suffer from any undue preference ; and it is no answer to
say that ' the reason why the undue preference is given is
some private arrangement between us and our agents,' or
anyone else, nor is it material to inquire how the unequal
charges came to be made if they have been made in
faot"(y).
In this case the Court held that where goods were
handed to a railway company, addressed to A. B. at
Shanklin, " per Ford," it was quite clear that both parties
understood such an address to be a direction to carry to
Ford at the place named, and that their duty was dis-
charged on delivery to Ford, and that they had nothing to
do with any further delivery, nor any right to deliver to
the ultimate consignee direct, either themselves or by their
agents.
It is obvious that some kinds of traffic may be more Allowances,
easily worked than other traffic, whether by reason of the

gradients over which it has to pass, the quantity or
regularity of the traffic, or the like; and if a railway
company in making its charges against two kinds of
traffic make an allowance in favour of that which is most
easily worked, so long as that allowance does not exceed
the difference in cost to the railway company in working
the two kinds of traffic, that will not be considered an
undue preference (z).
In the comparison of rates the distance must always be
the main element for consideration, and in any case where
a railway company choose to adopt an equal mileage
standard in fixing their rates, such rates should be
perfectly unassailable. At the same time (as stated in
the report of the Committee of 1872) there are obvious
objections to it as a fixed standard (a).
And if there are any circumstances existing to show
that a particular trader's traffic can be worked more
cheaply than the traffic of other traders, or than that of
the public, and if the rates in force do no more than make
allowance for these circumstances, then those rates cannot
be successfully impeached (/>).
For instance, one line may be more expensive to work
than another by reason of heavy gradients. Thus, upon
a complaint that the railway company did not give the
traders of Newry the benefit of the geographical position
of Newry with regard to Belfast and several towns lying
west and north-west of Newry, and that the railway company
gave a preference to the traders of the said towns to send
their goods to and from Belfast at much lower rates than
to Newry, though in every instance Newry was much
nearer to them than Belfast ; in their answer the railway

company set up as an explanation of the undue preference
of Belfast over Newry, that the line to Newry was over
heavy gradients, while that to Belfast was level ; but the
Commission Court held that the rates (which in some
cases made a difference of only a Id. for a distance of
sixteen miles) were unfair, and granted an injunction.
The railway company then made a table charging so much
for the first twenty- four miles, and for the next twenty-
four miles a lower rate, and added a sum from 2d. to 4d.
when the gradient was against the load ; and this charge
for gradient (which was objected to by the complainants
on a motion for penalties) was sanctioned, Sir F. Peel
saying, " Now as to the principle of an extra charge for
increase in cost of working, I do not think it has ever
been considered to be an infringement of the Traffic Act,
1854, that a railway company should charge a higher rate
per ton per mile for any portion of its line over which it
is more expensive to work than over other portions, and,
where there has been a difference of rate due to that
particular cause, such a rate has never been considered to
be a preferential rate " (c).
And so long distance traffic, being more cheaply worked Long- and
as a rule than short distance traffic, may generally be S
legitimately charged a lower mileage rate(tf). But if such
a lower charge on long distance traffic be made, a complaint
by a short distance trader is not disposed of by showing
that the lower rate per ton makes the highest aggregate
rate. It seems, however, that in the case of two unequal Largest profit

show that the larger profit arises from the larger gross
rate, the hurden of proof is shifted, and rests on those who
impugn the rate to show that the difference in charge
operates to their injury (e).
Through rates, however (i. e., rates to which more than
one company are parties), stand upon rather a different
footing to rates charged hy a railway company in respect
of goods travelling over its own line only, and, in most
cases, are not to he compared with local rates in consider-
ing cases of undue preference (f) ; there would, however,
appear to he a distinction between through rates fixed hy
agreement between railway companies, and through rates
that have come before the Railway Commissioners or the
Eailway and Canal Commission, and been adjudicated
upon by them (g).
And seeing that traffic in considerable quantity, regu-
larly despatched, can her worked more cheaply than an
intermittent traffic of uncertain character, a guarantee of
constant and regular traffic will justify a rebate from the
ordinary rate (h). So an agreement to allow reduced
rates to certain traders, in consideration of a guarantee by
them to send by railway such a quantity of coal in fully
loaded trains as would produce to the company a gross
yearly revenue of 40,000/., was held a legitimate agree-
ment (i) ; as was also an agreement to give a rebate of 1 ">

Thus, a trader may legitimately receive a preference
from a railway company, if, by any means, he is able to
reduce the cost of carriage to the company ; for instance,
by being able to despatch his traffic in full train loads (/) ;
or by being able to load a greater weight into his trucks (m) ;
or by being able to make use of an improved class of roll-
ing stock, which other traders are unable to employ (H) ;
or by reason of his being situate at a large town, where
the railway company, on delivering his trucks, are certain
of a " back load," whilst in other places the traffic is so
small that the trucks have to be returned empty (0).
But it is not for the public interest that one railway Agreement
company should be able, by differential rates, to diminish
the accommodation and availability of the railway of
another company, and to limit the freedom of consignors
and consignees to use either as they please, or oblige them
in their use of a competitive railway, to use it upon the
terms of paying higher rates to the company than are paid

company themselves act as carriers for collection and
delivery, the rebate allowed to an independent carrier for
those services must not be less than the cartage portion of
the gross rate, or less than the cost of carting, so as to
unduly prejudice the independent carrier in competing
with the company (//) .
It seems that the obligation imposed on railway com- How long
panics to treat all their customers equally is coterminous e q U al treat-
with the contract to carry, and lasts until the contract to ment Ia8ts -
carry is performed. This was discussed in Ford v. L. Sf
S. W. Ry. Co. (/). In that case the railway company
accepted in London parcels addressed to various places in
the Isle of Wight, " per Ford & Co." The railway com-
pany's line stopped at Grosport, where the parcels were
placed on ships belonging to Messrs. Chaplin, who carried
them to the Isle of Wight, and there acts of undue
preference were committed. The applicants had not
made Chaplin & Co. joint respondents with the railway
company, as it seems they might have done under sect. 28
of the Act of 1888 (//) ; and the question was whether the
railway company alone were liable.
Wills, J., there said (/) : " In my opinion if the railway
company have once completed their contract with the
customer without default, anything which may thereafter
take place by reason of the action of Chaplin & Co., or
anybody else, is not a matter for which they are liable
either in a civil action or on a complaint of undue pre-
ference ; but as long as their contract of carriage with the
customer remains, I think they must take care that in the
performance of that contract, so far, at least, as they can
prevent it, the customer does not suffer from any undue

preference ; and I do not think that it is an answer to that
complaint to say, ' The reason why the undue preference is
given is some private arrangement between us and our
agents,' or somebody else; and I do not think it is material
to inquire how it was that the unequal charges came to be
made (if they really have been made) in respect of services
which in each case were performed throughout by the
railway company."
And Mr. Commissioner Price, after referring to the
contract of carriage, says (m) : " In this particular case it
is not possible for them (i.e., the railway company) to
fulfil that contract except through the agency of some one,
and they have an agent appointed for that express purpose.
Up to a certain point they are independent of his services,
but at and from a certain point his services begin, and it
seems to me from the moment they are called into requisi-
tion, as long as he has anything to do with the matter, till
the contract is performed, he is their agent. Therefore, it
seems to me, from the moment when Chaplin is called in to
perform part of the contract, we must regard him, what-
ever else he might be, as their agent. Chaplin may be an
independent trader as well, but for all purposes he is
certainly in the first instance their agent, and it seems to
me, therefore, the company are fairly made liable for
Chaplin's acts."
The question how far a railway company is bound by a
general order to deliver goods arriving at their station to a
particular carrier is one of some difficulty ; and opposite
opinions have been expressed and adhered to on this point
in the Scotch Courts on the one hand, and the English and
lri>h Courts on the ollnT.
There is no doubt that when a parcel addressed to an
ultimate consignee to the care of a particular carrier (;?) is

delivered to and accepted by a railway company for car-
riage, the railway company impliedly contract to deliver
the parcel to the carrier to whom it is addressed at their
terminus (o) .
Also, it is clear that a railway company cannot force a Order as to
person against his will to employ them to cart by road in 8]
addition to the service of conveyance by railway, and that
a consignee has the right if he pleases to receive his goods
at the station, and to relieve the carrier from any further
duty in that case. And if the consignee, expecting a
particular consignment, sends a special order directing the
particular consignment to be delivered to the bearer at the
station, instead of at his own house, the railway company
would be bound to deliver it to the person producing the
order (p) .
But with regard to a general order, such for instance as
where a consignee gives to the railway company an order
such as " Please deliver to Mr. Parkinson at Cirencester
Station all goods consigned to me," the case is somewhat
different. It has been held by the Court of Common
Pleas in England (q) , that the railway company were
bound by such order, and if they delivered the goods
themselves, or by their agent, they were liable to an
injunction on the ground that they were unduly pre-
ferring themselves, or their agent, as the case might be.
Wills, J., said (r) : "It was urged that great difficulties
might arise to the company if they were obliged to act upon
these general orders, inasmuch, as they might run the risk of

delivering the goods to a stranger. But we cannot make
any distinctions of persons in a case like the present. The
company have no right to prefer themselves, or any one
carrier to another. Besides, this is only complaining of
the ordinary state of things."
In the Scotch Courts, however, another view has pre-
vailed, and the Court of Session under similar circumstances
has twice held (s) that a railway company were at liberty
to ignore such general orders by the consignee to deliver
to a particular carrier, without committing any breach of
the Traffic Act of 1854. The ground upon which they
rested their decision seems to have been that the railway
company had entered into a contract with the consignor to
deliver the articles consigned by him to the person and at
the place mentioned in the address ; and that the railway
company were entitled to reply to such a general order by
a consignee, "It is not in our power, and we cannot
undertake to deal otherwise with these goods than accord-
ing to their addresses, but we will deliver them according
to the addresses."
The question came again before the Eailway Commis-
sioners, and, feeling the difficulty of these adverse decisions,
they decided that the case before them being a Scotch
case they were bound to follow the views of the Scotch
Court of Session, which they did, without going into the
question. It is submitted, however, that the case before
the Court of Common Pleas was rightly decided, and that,
although the railway company arc itriimi fftric liable until
they have performed the whole of their contract made with
the consignor, it is competent for the consignee to relieve
them of a portion of this liability by a proper document in
writing, signed by him, directing them to deliver at their
terminus to his servant or agent. This, it seems to be

admitted, ho can do when the document refers to particular
goods (t) ; and it is difficult to understand why the consignee
should not have the like power of releasing a railway
company from responsibility, if he desires so to do, in
respect of goods covered by a general as well as a specific
description.
In cases of undue preference it has been frequently Ledger
adduced as an instance of unequal treatment, and undue account -
prejudice of the applicant by the railway company that
the company have refused to allow the applicant to have a
ledger account with the company, and insisted on being
paid forthwith for all traffic carried by them for or on
behalf of the applicant (u) . This ground of complaint has
never been favourably entertained. In making contracts,
subject only to the duty of acting impartially (which is
performed when the offer of a contract is made to all who
wish to adopt it) a railway company ought to have as free
power as any merchant (v). And it is obvious that some
discretion must be left to a railway company in the con-
duct of their business, and that the company can alone
decide to whom, it can give credit and to whom it should
be refused. Where a trader has been allowed credit by
the company, and has made use of the indulgence
granted him to exercise a control over the rates of charge
made by the company which he would not otherwise
possess, the company would be amply justified in putting
an end to such conduct by refusing to allow him further
credit (ic). And, although it is possible that if a ledger

account were wantonly or capriciously refused to one
trader, when others were allowed to have it, proceedings
for undue prejudice might he sustained, yet it is a matter
in which a railway company are entitled to so large a
measure of discretion, if honestly exercised, that a very
strong case indeed would he required to support it (./) .
And so where a merchant had refused to pay demurrage
(or waggon hire) for waggons detained hy him, such conduct
was thought to justify a refusal hy the company to supply
him with more waggons, and such refusal on the part of
the company was no undue prejudice of the merchant (?/).
It has also been held that a railway company were justified
in refusing to provide trucks or carry coal for any hut
colliery owners (z) , hut it is submitted that this is incon-
sistent with the construction put upon sect. 2 of the Traffic
Act, 1854, hy the Court of Appeal in Dickwn v. G. N. By.
Co. (tf), and must he taken to he overruled hy that decision,
as such a refusal would he a refusal of reasonable facilities
within the meaning of the Traffic Acts.
For a similar reason, where there are more than one line
of steamboats plying between two ports, a railway com-
pany running to one of such ports will be justified in
selecting the steamship company possessing the better
boats and superior accommodation with whom to enter
into a through traffic agreement. For considering the
nature of through traffic and the responsibility of a rail-
way company booking through to a distance to which they
have themselves no means of carrying, and the route to
which is partly by water, it is not a contravention of the
Traffic Acts for the railway company to select between

different vessels as to which llu-y will send and receive

best entitled to their confidence (//).
So a railway company, in dealing with the admission or Cabs and
exclusion of cabs and omnibuses to its station-yard, must
be guided by considerations as to public convenience ; and
if no inconvenience is thereby caused to the public, a
railway company may exclude certain cabs or omnibuses
from its yards and admit others (c) ; but if public incon-
venience is caused thereby a complaint will lie ; and so
where a railway company excluded one omnibus driver
from their station-yard but admitted another, and it
appeared that the two omnibuses ran by different routes,
the Court granted relief, on the ground that by the exclu-
sion of the one omnibus a certain section of the public
were subjected to unreasonable inconvenience (d).
If a complaint of undue preference be made by a private Proof of
trader or a company, it was considered, by the Commisioners dama s e -
under the Act of 1873, necessary, in order to sustain the
complaint, that it should be shown that the complainant
had suffered damage from the preference complained of (e),
although strict proof of the damage was not required
if facts were shown to point to a reasonable inference
of damage (/). And having regard to the judgment of

Decisions
summarised.
Wills, J., in a recent case (h), the same view will probably
be entertained by the Railway and Canal Commission
under the Traffic Act of 1888.
In addition to the local authorities above mentioned (i)
who have power to prefer complaints to the Railway and
Canal Commission, port or harbour authorities or dock
companies are authorized by sect. 30 of the Traffic Act of
1888 to make a complaint of undue preference. The
form of the section seems to show that they must prove an
injury to their harbour or dock to support the complaint.
It is as follows :
" Any port or harbour authority or dock company which
shall have reason to believe that any railway company is
by its rates or otherwise placing their port, harbour, or
dock, at an undue disadvantage as compared with any
other port, harbour, or dock to or from which traffic is or
may be carried by means of the lines of the said railway
company, either alone or in conjunction with those of other
railway companies, may make complaint thereof to the
Commissioners, who shall have the like jurisdiction to hear
and determine the subject-matter of such complaint as
they have to hear and determine a complaint of a contra-
vention of section two of the Railway and Canal Traffic
Act, 1854, as amended by subsequent Acts."
The following is a brief summary of the cases that have
been held to constitute a preference requiring justification
by the railway company :
Lower charges for the same or similar services to one
trader than the company are charging to others (A*).
Carrying goods of the same kind for unequal distances
at the same gross charge (/).

A higher charge made for a shorter than for a longer
distance (m).
Where the charges for the longer distance, though
actually more, are not so to an amount to cover the
cost of the extra service (n). It is, however, reason-
able to charge a less rate per mile for a long than a
short distance (o) , and where the greatest profit to the
company arises from the long distance rate it seems
that the onus of proving an undue preference is shifted
on to those impeaching the rate (p).
The refusal to allow a trader to use an existing private
siding while the same facility is allowed to other
traders (q) .
The performance of services (such as cartage) gratui-
tously for certain traders, while the company charge
for them when rendered to others (>).
Allowing rebates in respect of loading, unloading, and
haulage to brewers, whilst a similar allowance is not
made to other traders, timber merchants (s) .
Allowing rebate to trader who has constructed a siding
for his own traffic, but for which rebate the railway
company receive no quid pro quo (t).

THE EQUALITY CLAUSE AND UNDUE PREFERENCE. 61
For a company so to manipulate its rates as to give
itself a preference as a carrier by road over private
carriers (d).
By refusing to deliver goods according to instructions
to a private carrier at the company's terminus. It
has been decided in England and Ireland that a rail-
way company is bound by general instructions to
deliver goods properly consigned to a private carrier
at its terminus (e). In Scotland, on the other hand,
it has been held that a railway company is only
bound to deliver specified goods to a private carrier,
so that the instructions have to be given with or
notified on each consignment (/). The Scotch cases
011 this point are not reconcilable with those decided
in England and Ireland, and until the question has
been carried higher it is presumed that the Commis-
sion Court will be bound by the decision of the Courts
of the country in which they happen to be sitting (g) .
If a company require persons bringing goods to them to
sign certain conditions, but permit their agents to
receive goods for conveyance without requiring the

2nd section of the Act of 1854 and that it was desirable
to explain and amend the same, proceeds as follows :
51 & 52 Viet. " Subject as hereinafter mentioned, the said facilities to
be so afforded are hereby declared to and shall include the
due and reasonable receiving, forwarding, and delivering
by every railway company and canal company and rail-
way and canal company, at the request of any other such
company, of through traffic to and from the railway or
canal of any other such company at through rates, tolls,
or fares (in this Act referred to as through rates) ; and
also the due and reasonable receiving, forwarding, and
delivering by every railway company and canal company
and railway and canal company, at the request of any
person interested in through traffic, of such traffic at
through rates : Provided that no application shall be
made to the Commissioners by such person until he has
made a complaint to the Board of Trade under the pro-
visions of this Act as to complaints to the Board of Trade
of unreasonable charges, and the Board of Trade have
heard the complaint in the manner herein provided.
" Provided as follows :
" (1.) The company or person requiring the traffic to be
forwarded shall give written notice of the proposed
through rate to each forwarding company, stating
both its amount and the route by which the traffic
is proposed to be forwarded ; and when a company
gives such notice it shall also state the apportion-
ment of the through rate. The proposed through
rate may be per truck or per ton :
" (2.) Each forwarding company shall, within ten days,
or such longer period as the Commissioners may
from time to time by general order prescribe, after
the receipt of such notice, by written notice inform
the company or persons requiring the traffic to be
forwarded, whether they agree to the rate and
route ; and if they object to either, the grounds of
the objection :

" (3.) If at the expiration of the prescribed period no
such objection has been sent by any forwarding com-
pany, the rate shall come into operation at such
expiration :
" (4.) If an objection to the rate or route has been sent
within the prescribed period, the matter shall be
referred to the Commissioners for their decision :
" (5.) If an objection be made to the granting of the
rate or to the route, the Commissioners shall con-
sider whether the granting of a rate is a due and
iv;isonal)lc facility in the interest of the public^
and whether, having regard to the circumstances,
the route proposed is a reasonable route, and shall
allow or refuse the rate accordingly, or fix such
other rate as may seem to the Commissioners just
and reasonable :
" (6.) Where, upon the application of a person requiring
traffic to be forwarded, a through rate is agreed to
by the forwarding companies, or is made by order
of the Commissioners, the apportionment of such
through rate, if not agreed upon between the
forwarding companies, shall be determined by the
Commissioners :
" (7.) If the objection be only to the apportionment of
the rate, the rate shall come into operation at the
expiration of the prescribed period, but the decision
of the Commissioners as to its apportionment shall
be retrospective ; in any other case the operation of
the rate shall be suspended until the decision is
given :
" (8.) The Commissioners, in apportioning the through
rate, shall take into consideration all the circum-
stances of the case, including any special expense
incurred in respect of the construction, maintenance,
or working of the route, or any part of the route,
as well as any special charges which any company
may have been entitled to make in respect thereof.

66 CARRIAGE OF MERCHANDISE BY RAILWAY.
" (9.) It shall not be lawful for the Commissioners in
any case to compel any company to accept lower
mileage rates than the mileage rates which such
company may for the time being legally be charging
for like traffic carried by a like mode of transit on
any other line of communication between the same
points of departure and arrival of the through
route.
" Where a railway company or canal company use, main-
tain, or work, or are party to an arrangement for using,
maintaining, or working steam vessels for the purpose of
carrying on a communication between any towns or ports,
the provisions of this section shall extend to such steam
vessels and to the traffic carried thereby.
" When any company, upon written notice being given as
aforesaid, refuses or neglects without reason to agree to the
proposed through rates, or to the route, or to the appor-
tionment, the Commissioners, if an order is made by them
upon an application for through rates, may order the
respondent company or companies to pay such costs to the
applicants as they think fit."
Sect 26 of the same Act provides :
" Subject to the provisions in the last preceding section
contained, the Commissioners shall have full power to
decide that any proposed through rate is just and reason-
able, notwithstanding that a less amount may be allotted
to any forwarding company out of such through rate than
the maximum rate such company is entitled to charge, and
to allow and apportion such through rate accordingly."
Position of Under the Act of 1854 a trader had a right to select
trader. what company he pleased to deliver his traffic to, and to
require, without any second booking or second payment,
that the traffic should be delivered at the station to which
he desired that it should be sent, provided that he tendered
his traffic to the company at a station where there were
proper facilities for receiving it, that he named as the
delivery station a station where there were proper
THROUGH RATES AND THROUGH ROUTES. 67
facilities for delivering it, and that there was a continuous
route (no matter through how many companies' hands the
traffic had to pass) connecting the two stations. But
under that Act the sum which the trader would have had
to pay for the transit of his traffic would have been ascer-
tained by adding together the local rates of the various
companies over whose line it passed (b).
This facility was entirely independent of the reasonable-
ness of the route or the rate : the trader had the absolute
right to require any number of companies in Great
Britain to combine to form a continuous route by which
his traffic might be sent at a single booking and a single
payment (<-).
Under the Traffic Act of 1888 (d), the trader has been Effect of Act
given the additional facility of through rates, i.e., rates for of 1888<
the carriage of through traffic estimated in a somewhat
different manner, usually more favourable to the trader.
It is important, therefore, to consider (i) who may apply
for a through rate ; (ii) the conditions on which a through
rate will be granted; (iii) how it is to be apportioned
between the companies interested in it ; and (iv) the
extension of the jurisdiction to traffic by sea.
(i.) The Proposal of a Through Rate.
The facilities given by the Act of 1854 are to include
the receiving, forwarding, and delivering by every railway
company and canal company, at the request of any other
such company, of through traffic at through rates (-'.- ,i- H"/////xx Jiui/ ////. Co. v. Cah/.

state the cliuss of traffic in respect of which the rate is
proposed.
The facility of a through rate is also to be given " at Traders,
the request of any person interested in through traffic,"
but, before applying to the Railway and Canal Commis-
sion for a through rate, such person must previously have
made a complaint to the Board of Trade, under sect. 31 of
the Act of 1888 (m), that the railway company is subject-
ing him to an unfair or unreasonable rate of charge, or in
some other respect treating him in an unreasonable or
oppressive manner. It is to be observed that the person
who is allowed to make a complaint to the Board of Trade
under sect. 31 is to be a person " receiving, sending, or
desiring to send goods by railway." It would seem,
therefore, that the wide expression " person interested "(n)
in through traffic, is to some extent cut down by this
section, and that, in order to be able to propose a through
rate, a trader must be interested in through traffic in the
sense of receiving, sending, or desiring to send traffic at
through rates.
The question arises whether one of the local authorities Local au-
who are given power to make a complaint to the Eailway
and Canal Commission (o) , have power to propose a through
rate under sect. 25. These authorities are specially given
power under sect. 31 to complain to the Board of Trade in
any case in which they or any traders in their district are
being charged unfair or unreasonable rates, but they are
not expressly referred to in sect. 25. The question has
not been determined, and until then must remain doubt-
ful ; but under the Act of 1873 it was held that a harbour
board could not apply (p) . Probably, however, if the local

authority was in the habit of consigning or receiving
through traffic itself, it would come within the meaning of
the expression " person interested."
The course which a trader desiring a through rate should
adopt, therefore, is as follows : He should first apply to
the railway company to whom he delivers his traffic, and
if the through rate be refused him, or if it be fixed unduly
high, he should then complain to the Board of Trade under
sect. 31 of the Act of *1888. If this should fail, or if the
Board of Trade are unable to induce the railway company
to accept a reasonable through rate, the trader may then
himself propose what he considers a reasonable through
rate by giving a written notice to each forwarding com-
pany, stating the amount of the rate, and the route
proposed, and also, probably, the class of traffic in respect
of which the rate is proposed.
(1) Amount
of rate.
(ii.) The Conditions on which a Through Rate icill be granted.
In order that a proposed through rate may be granted,
it must be shown to be a due and reasonable facility, and
in determining whether it is so or not there are four
points to be considered : (1) the amount of the proposed
rate; (2) the route; (3) agreements between companies;
(4) whether it is a facility which ought to be granted in
the interests of the public consistently with a duo regard
for the interests of the companies.
On the proposal of a through rate, if an objection to the
rate or route has been sent within the prescribed period
(ten days), the matter is to be referred to the Commissioners
for their decision (q).
The llailway and Canal Commission have power to
sanction a through rate, notwithstanding that a less amount
may be allotted to any forwarding company, out of such
(
missioners refused to allow the rate to be increased on the
removal of the competition without some reason being
shown by the railway company for doing so (x) .

for traffic in owners' wagons, though there is already a
through rate for traffic in company's wagons (z) .
Power to alter Formerly, when a through rate was proposed, the Corn-
proposed rate. . . . , . , , , , t , -i -,
missioners might allow or reject it, but had no power to
order any through rate of a different amount (a) . The
Act of 1888, however, has given them express power to
allow or refuse the proposed rate, or fix such other rate as
may seem to them just and reasonable (b).
(2) Route. The second condition of a compulsory through rate is
that the route to which it is applicable must be reason-
able (c) . At the same time, a route, to be a reasonable
route, need not be the best route ; it will be considered a
reasonable route if it is as good as any other route ; and
if, although there may be quicker and cheaper routes, it is
capable of maintaining competition with them, and efficient
enough to be likely to be preferred for some portion of the
traffic (d). And a route is not necessarily unreasonable
because only a small quantity of traffic would be likely to
pass along it, if the through rate would assist the develop-
ment of the traffic, and enable the route to compete with
other lines (e) .
The method in which the traffic is likely to be worked
has also an important bearing on the reasonableness of a
proposed through route. But a route which would be
reasonable if worked by one company, does not become
unreasonable merely because it would be worked by two or
more companies (/). Nor is it a fatal objection to a pro-

posed route that, though shorter than a competitvo route,
traffic proceeding hy it would have to he set down at a
junction on the proposed route, to wait and he picked up
hy a train tlini had started from the point of departure
and proceeded to the junction hy the more circuitous
competitive route (g) .
At the same time, traffic will not he forced upon a
company which they have to carry at a disadvantage, as
where the company conveying the traffic in respect of
which the rate was proposed would have to carry it over a
considerable portion of the line of another company, over
which they had running powers, subject to the terms of
paying all receipts, except a margin for working expenses,
to the company owning and working the line, and who
were well able to accommodate the traffic (h). But where
the proposed route is shorter than one already existing,
although it is in accordance with railway practice to hand
over traffic to the company that is to deliver it at the
nearest convenient station, the route will not he held
unreasonable merely because by it the traffic will be
handed to the delivering company shortly before its arrival
at its destination (?'). The fact that the railway forming
the proposed route has been constructed for other purposes
than through traffic will not prevent a through rate being
granted (/,).
It seems that although a through rate may be otherwise (3) Agree-
unobjectionable, the existence of agreements between rail- ments -
way companies, into which they have been authorised to enter,
may prevent a through rate being granted. This refers
only (a) to so-called statutory agreements, and (b) to
agreements which have been confirmed by the Board of

Trade or by the Eailway and Canal Commission under
sect. 10 of the Act of 1873; for it is expressly enacted that
nothing in any agreement which does not come under one
of these two heads is to prevent the Commissioners from
making or enforcing any order with respect to facilities (/) ;
nor, apparently, does this apply to canals (M) .
So where companies have entered into agreements which
are within their power to make, the Commissioners have
no power (nor would they exercise it if they possessed it)
to interfere with any rights acquired under such agree-
ments (11). And companies acting within such agreements
will not be deemed to have contravened the Traffic Acts
though they send traffic by the more circuitous of two
routes (o) .
Agreements Such agreements, however, when they limit competition,
strued strictly, will be strictly construed (p), and the existence of an
agreement between two companies will not prevent a
through rate being granted over the line of one of them at
the instance of a third company (q) .
On a similar principle to that above mentioned with
regard to agreements, through rates will not be granted if
they interfere with statutory rights ; and so where a canal
company was restrained by statute from altering its rates
without the consent of a railway company, it was held that
there was no power to grant a through rate by the canal
without the railway company's consent (;).

THROUGH RATES AND THROUGH ROUTl s. 75
(iii.) Apportionment of Through Rate.
Where a through rate proposed by a trader is agreed to
by the forwarding companies, but the apportionment of it
is disputed (s), or if the objection be only to the apportion-
ment (t) , the rate comes into force, and the Eailway and
Canal Commission have to decide the apportionment, which
is retrospective.
The statute enacts that in apportioning the through rate
the Court is to consider " all the circumstances of the case,
including any special expense incurred in the construction,
maintenance or working of the route or any part of the
route, as well as any special charges which any company
may have been entitled to make in respect thereof " (u) ;
aiid it must also be remembered that a company cannot be
compelled to accept lower mileage rates than it is charging
by another route between the same points (tr) . Where
two routes exist, however, by one of which a company
carries a long and by the other a short distance, the
company cannot expect to receive the same gross amount
as its proportion in respect of the short distance as it
receives out of the rate for the route on which it carries
the longer distance (a) .
The general rule for apportioning a through rate is to General rule,
make to each of the companies owning the stations at
either end of the route an allowance for terminals, and to
divide the remainder among the companies parties to the
route according to mileage (y) . Short distance clauses,
however, may be taken into consideration where the

Through rates Through rates for traffic are not confined to traffic by
land, for where a railway company or canal company use,
maintain, or work, or are party to an arrangement for
using, maintaining, or working steam vessels for the
purpose of carrying on a communication between any
towns or ports, the provisions of the Act as to through
rates are to apply to such steam vessels and to the traffic
carried thereby (e). This is a re-enactment of the same

form one continuous line; but, as regards the land portion,
the particular railway at the port of shipment is in no
exceptional position, and may be unaffected by the agree-
ment, unless and until through rates are imposed upon it,
in conjunction with other companies, by an order made by
the Eailway Commissioners under their Acts (m).
From the case last referred to, it would seem that where
a binding agreement exists between a railway company and
a steamship company, either the steamship company, party
to the agreement, or the railway company, or any other
railway company on the through route, may apply for a
through rate. And, of course, a trader might also do so if
" interested in the through traffic," provided he has taken
the preliminary steps required of him by the Act (n).
But it seems that a rival steamship company, who are not
parties to a through traffic arrangement with a railway
company, have no locus standi to apply for a through rate
on the ground of the existence of a through traffic arrange-
ment between another steamship company and a railway
company (o).

CHAPTEE VI.
RATES AND CHARGES AND THE DIVISION OF RATES.
THE Railway and Canal Commission have been given
express jurisdiction over tolls, rates, and charges.
Sect. 10 of the Act of 1888 provides, " Where any ques- Jurisdiction
tion or dispute arises, involving the legality of any toll, and'rates
rate, or charge, or portion of a toll, rate, or charge, charged
or sought to be charged for merchandize traffic by a com-
pany to which this part of this Act applies, the Commis-
sioners shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine the
same, and to enforce payment of such toll, rate, or charge,
or so much thereof as the Commissioners decide to be
legal."
In the Railways Clauses Act of 1845 the word "toll" is Distinction
defined to include any rate or charge, or other payment rates^and
payable under the special Act for any passenger, animal, charges,
carriage, goods, merchandize, articles, matters, or other W ToU -
things conveyed on the railway. This wide meaning is
not, however, the ordinary meaning attached to the word
" toll," and even in that Act, as in sects. 93, 94, 95, and
97, the word has been cut down to a much narrower
meaning. (See pp. 84 and 97.)
The Act of 1845 treated the railway as a highway
which, upon payment of the authorized tolls, any person
was to be entitled to use with his or their own engines,
carriages, or trucks, subject only to proper regulations as
to times of departure, arrival, speed, and the like to be
made by the company (a). "When this course is adopted
(a) Hull v. L. B. & S. C/, By. Co., 15 Q. B. D. 536; 5 B. &
Mac. 28.
80 CARRIAGE OF MERCHANDISE BY RAILWAY.
the payment for the use of the railway only was a toll
strictly so called. The tolls in this sense which a railway
company may charge are fixed by the special Acts of the
various companies, and are usually fixed at so much per
mile. These tolls have not been affected by the provisional
orders of the Board of Trade, which refer only to rates
and charges.
(ii) Rates and The Act of 1845, however, by sect. 86, also permitted
the railway companies " to use and employ locomotive
engines or other moving power and carriages and waggons
to be drawn or propelled thereby, and to carry and convey
upon the railway all such passengers and goods as may be
offered them for that purpose, and to make such reasonable
charges in respect thereof as they may from time to time
determine upon, not exceeding the tolls by the special Act
authorized to be taken by them." The word tolls in this
section is used in the more extended sense of the definition
clause, not as a toll for the use of the highway, but
remuneration receivable by the company for the carriage
of the goods ; and the tolls by the special Act authorized
to be taken are now superseded by the maximum rates and
charges authorized by the provisional order applicable to
the railway.
These rates and charges now authorized consist for
ordinary merchandise traffic of a mileage or conveyance
rate, a charge for station terminals, where a station is used
by the traffic, and a charge for service terminals, that is,
loading, unloading, covering, and uncovering. A maximum
amount is specified under each of these heads beyond
which the company may not charge. There are also
certain other services, such as collection and delivery and
other matters in respect of which the company may make
an additional charge when rendered to a trader at his
request or for his convenience ; but to ascertain the maxi-
mum amount any company may charge, reference must be
made to the provisional order applicable to that company.
When railway companies carry in this manner under
RATES AND CHARGES AND THE DIVISION OF RATES. 81
sect. 86 of the Railways Clauses Act, they are common
carriers, and are liable as insurers for the safety of the
goods they carry, except where specially exempted from
that liability by statute (b) . They are, however, only
bound to carry as common carriers goods which they
profess to carry as such.
There is therefore a third method in which the railway (iii) Carriers
may be used. Since the passing of the Traffic Act of 1854 contract
railway companies are bound to afford reasonable facilities
for traffic, and cannot, it seems, refuse to carry traffic
except upon terms which are unreasonable. They are not,
however, necessarily common carriers of such traffic. They
may refuse to take the risks of common carriers and may
carry under special contract (c) . Under sect. 105 of the
Railways Clauses Act, 1845, a railway company cannot be
required to carry aquafortis, oil of vitriol, gunpowder,
lucifer-matches, or any other goods which, in the judg-
ment of the company, may be of a dangerous nature.
But all other goods which they do not profess to carry as
common carriers they may carry under special contract,
that is, not as insurers. Such a special contract, however,
must be just and reasonable in its terms and signed by
the consignors of the traffic (d).
Whether the rates and charges which the railway com- Rates where
pany may exact under such special contracts can exceed speciaf coif-
the maximum rates they are authorized to charge in tract -
respect of such traffic is perhaps not altogether free from
doubt. It has been decided in two cases that such rates
and charges must be within the maximum (e), and probably
in ordinary cases that is so. It is submitted, however,

that as regards animals mentioned in sect. 7 of the Act of
1854, and goods mentioned in the Carriers Act, of which
the value exceeds that stated in those Acts, though the com-
pany should not exceed their maximum where they decline
to take the risk of insurance, yet where they insure they
may charge, in addition to their authorized maximum, a
reasonable sum for insurance (/).
Route. A company is not bound to carry by the shortest route.
And if at the junction of two lines there are no facilities
for dealing with goods traffic, and the usual course is to
carry the goods to a large goods station near the junction
and back for the purpose of transference, they may charge
the mileage rate for the distance actually carried (g). But
if a company possess two or more routes they must not
favour one more than another ; and if a trader choose to
consign his traffic by a particular route it must not be
subjected on that account to disadvantage or delay (//).
And if a trader consider that his traffic is not being fairly
treated by the route adopted by the railway, he is at
liberty to take the necessary steps for obtaining a through
rate (/).
Special Although a company are not entitled to charge anything
over and above the sums authorized for the carriage of
goods, yet they may, by previous agreement, make charges
for some services, conveniences, and facilities afforded by
them beyond the mere carriage of goods (k). The doctrine
of ultra rircs must not be pushed too far, and if tho
company allow the public to make use of conveniences in
and about their stations, though not strictly connected

sects. 33 and 34 of the Act of 1888 (*).
As is well known, railway companies are accustomed to
quote rates to traders in lump sums, without apportioning
any part to particular services. Thus, whether the rate be
a rate from private siding to private siding, from station
to station, or include cartage and delivery, the trader is
in each case charged an inclusive rate, and, apart from
statute, has no means of ascertaining how much of the rate
is for conveyance, how much for terminal accommodation
or services, or how much for cartage or other services.
The Acts of 1873 and 1888 both contain provisions to
enable traders to get this information, and probably the
division of terminal accommodation, and the services of
loading, unloading, covering, &c., into different heads,
contained in the Orders the subject of this book, with a
separate maximum for each head, will tend in the same
direction. At the same time, it will be noticed hereafter

that some cases are still unprovided for, and that in others
railway companies, if they comply with the letter of the
enactment, are able to avoid giving the information which
would he of practical value to the trader.

ded into three heads (a) the first orders the provision of
rate books at all stations ; (b) the second gives the Rail-
way Commissioners power to order the division of the
rates in certain cases ; (c) while the third part provides a
penalty to which a railway company is to become liable
for non-compliance with the requirements imposed on the
company by this section.
The first two headings will require separate considera-
tion.
The first part of the section provides that " every rail- ( a ) Keeping

way company and canal company shall keep at each or
their stations and wharves a book or books showing every
rate for the time being charged for the carriage of traffic,
other than passengers and their luggage, from that station
or wharf to any place to which they book, including any
rates charged under any special contract, and stating the
distance from that station or wharf of every station, wharf,
siding, or place to which any such rate is charged. Every
such book shall, during all reasonable hours, be open to
the inspection of any person without the payment of any
fee."
It is convenient to consider this part of the section
by itself. In the first place, the right to inspect these
books is a right given to the public by the legislature, and
anyone desiring to inspect them has a right to do so, and
he need not show that he is in any way personally inte-
rested, or that he is about to send traffic by rail (t). And

the right to inspect seems to include the right to take
copies or extracts from the books (u).
Notwithstanding that a company failing to comply with
these requirements becomes liable to a penalty, the Bail-
way and Canal Commission have jurisdiction to entertain
a complaint of a contravention of this section (x), and will
make an order to restrain the contravention and to allow
the taking of extracts or copies of the book.
The rate books must be kept at all the company's
stations; so it has been held a contravention of this section
where a railway company kept no rate books at their local
stations, but divided all their mineral traffic into three
districts, each district having a principal station at which
rate books were kept, although they charged and booked
no mineral traffic from their local stations, but from their
principal stations only (if).
What to The rate books are to show every rate from the station
" to any place to which they book," and this expression,
though not identical, is closely connected with the expres-
sion " to which they quote a rate " ; and so, although an
isolated instance in which a rate had been quoted and
accepted might not come within the section, yet, if goods
are regularly accepted on definite terms for conveyance
between two places, the case will come within the sec-
tion (~). So, the books must show all rates, through rates
as well as local, even though the through rates be on the
line of another company; but they need not show the
rates from any other station than that at which the book
is kept (a) ; but in the case of a through rate the books

In addition to tho actual rates, the rate books must Distances,

the rates are charged, and if this be not done an injunction

establish two propositions (1) that she is interested within
the meaning of the section (without which she has no lucux
standi at all), and (2) that there are good grounds for
exercising in her favour a judicial discretion. Whether
the applicant is interested is not necessarily the same
question as what are the grounds for demanding the
information. If the applicant has no reasonable cause of
complaint to establish or remedy, or no tangible or ap-
preciable reason of self-protection to advance, the Court
will be reluctant to gratify idle curiosity or to encourage
mere fishing inquiries simply to enable a person to see if
he can discover anything to find fault with." The reason
for requiring the applicant to substantiate a reasonable
purpose, for which he seeks the information, appears to
be that if Parliament had meant to put railway com-
panies under any duty to give the information to all
comers, it would have said so, and instead of giving them
the protection of the interposition of the Commissioners,
would have imposed upon them the liability at once, and
would have left to the Commissioners merely the power
and duty of enforcing the statutory obligation (/).
When, however, it has once been established that the
applicant is interested, a very moderate degree of evidence,
showing a legitimate purpose for which the information is
sought, would in ordinary cases be sufficient to satisfy the
Court that its discretion ought to be exercised in favour of
the application (m).
We have seen that the rate books must contain through Through
rates as well as local rates ; and similarly, as the section is rates *
not confined to rates on one line only, the Commission
have power to order the division of rates to places on the
line of another company ; and although the definite article
is used in the section, and the division is to be made
between " conveyance upon the railway " and other ex-

penses, " tlie railway " is not confined to the railway of the
sending company. If, however, on an application for the
division of a through rate being made, the company
opposing the application should satisfy the Court that
they have not the means of dividing the charge as the Act
of Parliament contemplates, they would not be ordered to
do so ; but the only result of such a state of things would
be that, under sect. 14 of the Act of 1888, the other
company or companies concerned in fixing the through
rate might be added as defendants to the application, and
the requisite order made after all the companies whom it
might be necessary to comprise in the order had been
heard (n).
But this jurisdiction as to the division of rates does not
apply to every rate book. The Commissioners cannot
make an order to distinguish rates in a rate book kept by
the railway company for their convenience for purposes
other than this section, and containing rates from other
stations (0) ; nor in a rate book kept at some place which is
not the company's station. And even between rate books
at the company's stations there is a distinction to be drawn.
If a rate book be a book of rates for traffic received or
delivered at a place on the railway, other than a station
within the meaning of this section (_/;), it is not subject to
an order for the division of rates. It is a book kept under
sect. 34 of the Act of 1888, and the powers of the Railway
and Canal Commission to order the division of rates do
not extend to any book kept under that section (q).
It was held by the old Railway Commissioners that an
order for the division of rates was not sufficiently complied
with by the railway company dividing their rate into two

parts, one part for conveyance and one part for " other ex-

It seems that the more fact that the total rate charged Rate within

not prevent an order for the division of the rate under this
section being made on the application of the trader (s), but
that in such a case the company may comply with that
order by electing not to make any charge for terminals
and allocating the whole rate to conveyance (t).
And in the recent case of Tomlinson v. L. 8f N. W. Ry. Allocating
Co. (u), the applicant had obtained an order requiring the nvcyance.
particulars of certain rates to and from Preston to be
distinguished and entered in the station rate book.
The company sought to comply with this order by
tendering a statement in which they attributed their
maximum mileage rate to the charge for conveyance, and
the surplus to the items constituting the terminal charge.
As a result of this process, the whole amount of some rates,
which included collection and delivery, were allotted to
conveyance, leaving nothing as the charge for cartage,
whilst in other cases the charge per ton for the use of
Preston station varied from 6d. to Is. on the same article
when forwarded from different stations. The applicant
thereupon contended that such a statement was no com-
pliance with the order, but the Court held that the railway
company had obeyed the order and distinguished the rates
asked for, and all that remained for them to do was to
make the entries as required in their station rate book.

A RAILWAY COMPANY'S LIEN FOR UNPAID RATES AND TOLLS.

payment for the carriage of the goods : their strict, and
indeed their only right is to stand upon their lien, and to
refuse to deliver the goods at all, and to keep them until
the charges are paid (H) .
It is, therefore, not unusual for railway companies to General lien
create by agreement a general lien on goods carried by
them by stipulating, in the consignment note, that all
goods consigned to the company will be received and
held by them subject to a general lien for money due to
them, whether for carriage or other charges, and also that
they shall have power to sell the goods in case the lien be
not satisfied. This lien continues as long as the company
hold the goods, and is not affected by the refusal of the
consignee to receive them after their arrival at their
destination (o) .
It has been held that, where such a general lien has been
created by agreement between the railway company and a
limited company, the railway company cannot retain
goods of the limited company consigned after the limited
company has been ordered to be wound up in respect of
balances due before the winding-up order (p) . But al-
though this case was confirmed on appeal (q), it is difficult
to find any adequate reason for altogether ignoring the
agreement, and Chitty, J.,in a recent case(r), has declined
to follow the principle there laid down, and held that such
an agreement made with a limited company is good and
valid after the winding-up.
In any case, the lien can only attach after the goods
have been carried and are ready for delivery. The com-
pany can claim no lien immediately on receipt of the goods

send an engine on its own wheels to Wigan, Lut the
engine broke down on the way, it was held by the
majority of the Court of Appeal that even assuming that
the company were common carriers of engines (of which
there was no evidence), and though the railway company's
manager had inspected the engine before it started, they
were not liable for non-delivery of the engine, seeing
that it had occurred owing to the inherent defect of the
thing carried (7i) . Lord Esher in that case expressed his
opinion that the company were bound by their contract to
deliver the engine at all events ; but to all contracts of
carnage there was an implied exception where it was
clearly reasonable and right, and where it must seem so to
all fair-minded persons that there should be such an excep-
tion. If, for instance, the engine had blown up, it could
not have been intended that the railway were liable to
deliver it nevertheless.
In order to show that the injury occurred owing to the
" proper vice " of an animal, it is not necessary to prove
that the animal was vicious, but merely that there was no
negligence on the part of the railway company, and,
nothing extraordinary having happened, that the injury
must have been caused by the struggles of the animal (/).
And if the accident occurs owing to the negligence of Negligence of
the owner of the animal, the company are not liable. So
where a dog had been handed to a railway company for
carnage, secured by collar and chain, apparently sufficient
for the purpose, and the dog slipped the collar and, escap-
ing on to the line, was injured, the railway company were
held not liable (m), though it might have been otherwise
had the collar and chain been obviously insufficient to

secure the dog (n). It is, however, to be observed that in
the case of Richardson v. N. E. Ry. Co., above mentioned,
it was expressly found that the company were not common
carriers of animals.
And on the other hand, if goods are delivered to a
ed " carrier improperly packed, and they suffer damage, the
carrier may still be liable if the damage be shown to have
been caused by the carrier's negligence, although it be also
partly due to the bad packing (o). But if the damage
arise solely from the improper packing the carrier will not
be liable (p).
To make the cause of injury the act of God, the injury
must be due to an accident which arises from natural
causes wholly and exclusively, without human interven-
tion, and could not have been prevented by any amount
of foresight, and pains, and care reasonably to be ex-
pected (q) .
Subject to sect. 7 of the Traffic Act of 1854 (r), there is
nothing to prevent the railway company from exempting
themselves from liability for accidental injuries to goods
carried by them (s), and in practice special rates for goods
carried at "owner's risk" are of frequent occurrence.
These, however, in most cases fall within legislative en-
actments, and for their validity special precautions are
required by the legislature, which will be hereafter dis-
cussed (t).

of a common carrier to carry (y) .
A company, however, are only bound to carry according
to their profession (z) , and accordingly may refuse to carry
animals or, it would seem, any other class of goods as
common carriers (a) . It seems that if a company alwaj^s
require the consignors of goods of a particular class to
enter into a special agreement for the carriage of such
goods, they are not common carriers of that class of
goods (b). This, however, has no reference to a railway
company's liability to carry the goods or other traffic
offered to them, not as common carriers, but under the

request of the consignor or person in charge, to the satis-
faction of the Privy Council, at such stations as the Privy
Council from time to time direct for animals carried, or
ahout to be, or having been carried on the railway (y).
And the company may charge for such food or water in
addition to their rates for the carriage of the animal, and
have a lien for such charge on the animal (2). The
animals in this Act include sheep and goats and other
ruminating animals, and swine (a).
The Privy Council may by order prohibit the removal
of animals ; and where such order was made, and under
the regulations of a local authority the animals were not
to be moved without a declaration being first made and
signed by the owner, the railway company, who carried
them before the declaration was made, were held liable to
a penalty (b)', and where such a declaration is required,, a

The mere fact that the purchaser has nominated the
carrier would seem not to be sufficient to make delivery
to him delivery to the agent of the purchaser (#), but
delivery on board a ship of the purchaser is delivery to
him (//).
If the consignor exercise his right of stoppage in tran- Action
situ, and the carrier, after receiving notice, deliver the ^J. '

damages for so doing appears to be founded in tort (z).
Delivery.
The carrier must provide a proper place for delivery ; Delivery,
and if he neglect to do so, and loss arises owing to his
neglect to do so, he may be made liable (a). He is also
liable for misdelivery on the ground that he is liable as
insurer until his contract as carrier is at an end (b) . But
if goods are consigned to a fictitious consignee at a
particular address, and the goods are delivered in the
ordinary course upon the signature of the fictitious con-
signee fraudulently made by a third person, the carrier
will not be liable (c), unless there are circumstances to
excite his suspicion (d).

carriers) to carry from station to station, involves an

obligation to unload and deliver at the receiving station,
or at least to provide proper appliances for that pur-
pose (e).
When goods are delivered by a carrier at the proper
place and proper time, the consignee is bound to examine
them, and see whether they are in good order ; and if he
does not intimate objection, it will be presumed that they
were delivered in good order (/). So, in a Scotch case,
where on delivery of a number of batteries properly made,
the consignee, acting on the report of the railway com-
pany's servants, wrote to the company complaining that
nine had been damaged, but a fortnight later discovered
twelve more to be broken, it was held that the twelve must
be presumed to have been delivered sound (g) .
Where goods are handed to a carrier for carriage with a
direction to deliver to a specific consignee at a particular
place, the consignee may agree with the earner to deliver
the goods at any other place (/*) .
The carrier is also bound to deliver within a reasonable
time, though he is not liable if the delay occur owing to
circumstances beyond his own control (/). But if injury is
caused to the goods by the delay, which would not have
arisen if the goods had been properly packed, the owner
may only be entitled to nominal damages (/.).
The question whether there has been unreasonable delay
is a question of fact, but if the ordinary course of convey-
ance has been departed from this may be evidence of
unreasonable delay (/), and the fact that a train arrives

several hours late is prim a facie evidence of unreasonable
delay and requires to be accounted for by the company (m) .
If the ordinary route be adopted it is immaterial that it is
not the shortest possible (;/). And the fact that a company
has altered its time tables without informing the consignor,
and consequently the goods have not arrived as usual, is no
evidence of unreasonable delay (o). And if a company
undertakes to forward goods by a particular train, they
do not thereby wan-ant that the train will arrive at its
usual time (p).
When goods consigned at station to station rates arrive Notice of
at the delivery station, it is usual for the delivering com- a
pany to send to the consignee notice of their arrival.
Whether a company issuing such notice by mistake are
bound by its contents, so as to be estopped from denying
that they hold the goods described therein, depends upon
whether or not they have caused injury by their culpable
negligence. Where a company has by mistake advised a
person that goods have come for him when they have not
done so in fact, they are not prevented from explaining
their mistake (q) ; but where a company issued two different
delivery orders in respect of the same consignment of goods,
as against a holder for value of those delivery orders, they
were estopped (>).
The carrier's liability extends until the contract of Termination
carriage has been performed. But if the carrier is to
deliver goods to a consignee at a particular address and
they are refused there, the carrier's liability ceases (.s), and
he is not bound to give notice to the consignor of the

refusal to accept the goods if lie does what is reasonable
under the circumstances of the case (t) .
If goods are consigned at station to station rates to be
taken away from the delivery station by the consignee, the
carrier's liability does not cease until the goods have reached
the delivery station, and a reasonable time has been allowed
for their removal after notice of their arrival (u). But if
the carrier is unable to give notice of their arrival to the
consignee, his liability as carrier is exchanged for that of
warehouseman (?).
If the consignee does not remove the goods within a
reasonable time after notice of their arrival the railway
company's liability as carrier terminates, and they become
liable as warehousemen (x). And it has been held that
where a consignee refused to take delivery of a horse, the
carriers could recover from him proper expenses incurred
by them in putting the horse out to livery (//).
A notice delivered to a consignee by the railway com-
pany to the effect that goods have arrived at their station,
and after a reasonable time will be held by the company
not as carriers, but as warehousemen, and subject to a
charge for demurrage, is binding on the consignee, al-
though he have signed the consignment note under
protest (z). And if after such a notice the consignee
takes part of the goods away and leaves the rest, he must
be taken to have agreed to the terms imposed (a). But a
notice that the goods have arrived and will be held by the
company not as carriers, but at the owners' sole risk, will

not absolve the company from taking reasonable care of
the goods (b).
And if goods are detained because the consignee refused Refusal to
to pay for their carriage, they must be kept a reasonable pay cama & e -
time at the place of delivery (c).
The liability of warehousemen or bailees in respect of Liability of
goods entrusted to them is essentially different from that (
of carriers ; they are not liable as insurers of the goods, and
are only bound (1) to take reasonable and proper care of
the goods (d) ; (2) to deliver them up to the owner or
person entitled to receive them within a reasonable time
after a reasonable demand (e).
(1) It is, of course, open to the parties to make a Care of the
special contract of bailment by the terms of which they go 8>
would be bound (/) ; but in the absence of any such
special contract, a warehouseman is bound to take reason-
able and proper precautions for the safety of goods
entrusted to him (g) ; but there is no warranty to keep
them absolutely safe; and so, if the warehouseman has
employed a competent contractor to erect a building, but
the goods are injured owing to a defect, of which the
warehouseman had no notice, caused by the negligence of
the contractor, the warehouseman will not be held liable (//).
Though if the warehouseman undertake to warehouse the
goods at a particular place, and send them to another, he

may become liable for injury resulting to the goods in
consequence of his so doing (/).
(2) The warehouseman is bound to deliver the goods
to the owner within a reasonable time after a reasonable
demand (//), and if delivery be refused, the Statute of
Limitations does not begin to run, so as to bar the right to
sue for the goods, until such demand and refusal (/). The
warehouseman is not liable, strictly speaking, for mis-
delivery, though he may be so if it has resulted from want
of reasonable care (w) ; but he may be liable in an action
for conversion if he parts with the goods to a person who
is not entitled to them, and that even though he acts bond
fide, and the person to whom he delivers the goods be
subsequently authorised by the true owner to receive
them (), though in the latter case the plaintiff could only
recover nominal damages (0).

where goods have been unlawfully converted, \aprimd facie
the full value of the goods. And that is the measure
whenever the plaintiff could have resumed the property if
he could have laid hands on it and held it as his own, as
when the conversion is by a stranger (p). But where
tli at is not the case, as where an unpaid vendor converts
the goods, only the loss actually sustained by the plaintiff
is recoverable, as in such a case the plaintiff would no
longer be liable to the vendor for the contract price ( B. & S. 419.

this point are not satisfactory. In the case of carriage by

plaintiff cannot recover damages resulting to him from the

goods as they had contracted to do, and the goods were
sold, damages were not recoverable, as the goods might
have been sent another way (o).

CHAPTEE IX.
THE CARRIERS ACT AND THE LIMITATION OF THE LIABILITY
OF CARRIERS PROVIDED THEREBY.
Origin of WITH the increase of personal property, the frequency
with which articles of great value in small bulk were trans-
mitted about the country largely increased and began to
render the liability of a common carrier very dangerous. To
meet this, carriers posted up and distributed notices to the
effect that they would not be liable for property of more
than a specified value, unless the owner had paid an
additional premium to insure his property. If this notice
could be brought home to the carrier's employer, it was
considered as part of the contract of carriage, and he was
bound by it (a) ; but if the carrier could not show that it
had been communicated to him it was of no effect to bind
the employer (b). But notwithstanding that he was pro-
tected by such a notice, the carrier was still liable in case
the property was lost by gross negligence on his part (c),
unless the employer had lulled the carrier's vigilance by
failing to inform him of the nature of the trust reposed in
him (d).

hereinafter mentioned, or an engagement to pay the
same, be accepted by the person receiving such parcel or
package."
And when any parcel shall be so delivered, and its
va ^ ue (exceeding 107.) and contents declared, the carrier
may demand an increased charge, notice of which must be
affixed in a conspicuous part of the office, warehouse, or
other receiving house, stating the increased rate of charge ;
and by this notice all persons sending or delivering parcels
are bound (g). This notice is not a notice that the carrier
means to avail himself of the Act, but only a notice of
the extra charge which he cannot demand without the
notice (h).
^Q articles to which the Carriers Act applies are as
follows, and are for convenience arranged alphabetically.
The text of the Act will be found on p. 119 in the note.
(1.) Bank notes, whether English, Scotch, or Irish.
(2.) Bills.
A document framed like a bill of exchange, pro-
perly stamped as such, and accepted by the person to
whom it was directed, but without a drawer's name,
was held not to be a " bill, order, security for payment
of money, or writing of any value," the jury having
found that at the time of delivery to the carrier the
incomplete bill was of no value (/). Possibly if the
jury had found that it was of value, being a writing,
it might have come within the Act (k) .
(3.) China.
(4.) Clocks.
(5.) Coins (gold or silver) of this realm or of any
foreign State.

(6.) Engravings.
This includes prints and coloured prints (/).
(7.) Furs.
Hat bodies made partly of fur and partly of wool
are not within the description " furs "(w).
(8.) Glass.
This includes glass of any kind or size, and looking-
glasses (n) or smelling-bottles (o).
(9.) Gold coin.
(10.) Gold or silver in a manufactured or unmanufactured
state.
(11.) Gold or silver plate or plated articles.
(12.) Jewellery. (Sec Trinkets (No. 27, post).)
(13.) Lace.
This does not include machine-made lace (p).
Where a lace corporal in a gilt frame covered with-
glass was enclosed in a packing case and sent without
any declaration under the Carriers Act, it was held
that the gilt frame was distinct from and not acces-
sory to the lace, and the packing case accessory to
both or the frame only, and that therefore the carrier
was not protected from liability as respected either
the gilt frame or the packing case (q).
(14.) Maps.
The cases of maps have been held accessory to the
maps themselves, and not separable (r) .
(15.) Money. (See Coin.)
(16.) Orders, notes, or securities for the payment of
money. (See under Bills (2).)
This would include cheques, promissory notes, &c.

(17.) Paintings.
This only includes works of art and of artistic
value ; not mere patterns or designs. So it does not
include coloured imitations of rugs and carpets and
coloured designs, though they may be valuable, being
designfft by skilled persons and painted by hand, if
they have no value as works of art (s) . The word,
however, includes artists' pencil sketches (t).
(18.) Pictures.
A picture and its frame are to be considered as one
article ; and if a package containing framed pictures
exceeding 10/. in value be delivered to a carrier with-
out a declaration, the carrier is protected from liability
in respect of damage done to the frame as well as to
the picture (w).
(19.) Plate or plated articles, whether gold or silver.
(20.) Precious stones.
(21.) Securities. (See Orders (16).)
(22.) Silks in a manufactured or unmanufactured state,
and whether wrought up or not wrought up with
other materials.
This has been held to include silk tights and
hose (?), silk watch guards (#), elastic silk webbing,
composed of silk, indiarubber, and cotton (//), a truss
of silk (s), and a silk dress (a). In a case decided in
1841 (b), silk dresses made up for wearing were held
not to come within this description ; but this case must
be considered as overruled. But see post, p. 131.

the public mails, stage coaches, waggons, vans, and other
public conveyances by land for hire, parcels and packages
containing money, bills, notes, jewellery, and other articles
of great value in small compass," &c. ; but these words do
not limit the application of the Act to articles of small
size, if they come within the description mentioned in the
Act (r). And a waggon containing articles of the kind
mentioned, but open at the top so that the carrier could
see the articles, has been held to be a parcel or package
within the Act (s) . The question whether the articles in
question are or are not within the description contained in
the Act is a question of fact (t).
On the increased charge being paid, or an agreement to Receipt,
pay the same accepted, the carrier must, if required, give a
receipt for the parcel, acknowledging it to have been insured,
and this receipt is not liable to stamp duty. Should the Penalty,
carrier fail to give such receipt when required, or to affix the
notice above mentioned in his office, he is to lose all ad-
vantage under the Carriers Act, and be liable as at common
law (u).
The publication of any notice or declaration by a Notice not to
carrier, however, since the passing of the Carriers Act, is
not to limit the liability of the carrier in respect of any
goods, except those to which the Act applies (c) ; but the Special
Act does not affect special contracts entered into between '
the carrier and other parties (x) ; while, at the same time,
the existence of a special contract does not prevent the
carrier from taking the benefit of the Carriers Act, unless
there is something in the special contract inconsistent with
the goods having been received by the carrier as a common

carrier (y] . Apart from sect. 7 of the Traffic Act of 1854 (z) ,
in order to constitute a special contract, it need not neces-
sarily be signed by the parties : thus, a ticket with printed
conditions which have been brought to the notice of the
consignor has been held to be a special contract and not a
public notice (a).
Thus, a contract may be inferred from notice by the
carrier to his customer, and the customer having subse-
quently sent goods to be carried without objecting to the
terms of the notice (b).
Special A great number of contracts are made by the delivery
ccmtrac , c r ^ one ^ ^ e con t ra cting parties to the other of a docu-
ment in a common form stating the terms upon which the
person delivering it will enter into the proposed contract.
Such a form constitutes the offer of the person tendering
it, and if it be accepted without objection by the person to
whom it is tendered, this person is, as a general rule, bound
by its contents, and his act amounts to an acceptance of
the offer, whether he reads the document or otherwise
informs himself of its contents or not (c).
To this general rule there are several exceptions which
have been grouped under the following heads :
(1.) From the nature of the transaction the person
accepting the document may reasonably suppose
that the document contains no terms at all (d).
(2.) In the case of fraud, as if the conditions were
printed in such a manner as to mislead the person
accepting the document.
(3.) If, without being fraudulent, the document is mis-

ference shown by railway companies, the affording of
reasonable facilities, and the like. It will be observed
that the section consists of an enactment followed by five
provisoes, and it was not until the question had been
raised in the Exchequer Chamber no less than four
times (n) that it was finally decided that all parts of the
section were to be read together, and that the conditions
which a railway company can impose must not only be
just and reasonable, but must be embodied in a special
contract in writing, signed by the owner or sender of the
goods.
Peek v. 2T. This was decided in Peek v. N. Staffordshire Ry. Co. (o),
Ry.Co.* which may be considered the leading case on this section.
The facts were as follows: The owner of some marble
chimney-pieces desired to send them to London. Messages
and notes passed between him and the agent of the railway
company as to the terms on which they were to be carried.
The agent stated that the company would not be responsible
for damage to the goods, unless their value were declared,
and they were insured ; the rate of insurance being 10 per
cent, on the declared value. Ultimately the agent received
a note signed by the plaintiff's agent, requesting that the
marbles might be sent "not insured"; they were sent and
suffered damage. The House of Lords held, after hearing
an elaborate argument by the judges, that there was no
contract signed by the parties within the meaning of the
section ; that the note could not be so connected with the
other communications as to constitute the required contract ;
and that, the parties being left to their rights and liabilities
at common law, the plaintiff was entitled to recover.

its liability in case of loss of or injury to goods carried by

stowage, or from any cause whatever other than gross

That claims for damage should be made within seven
days (a) ; but whether this would be held reasonable in the
case of animals has been doubted in an Irish case (b) .
"Where the company carry luggage for ordinary passen-
gers free of charge, a condition that luggage carried for
passengers who are charged less than the ordinary rate is
reasonable (c).
On the other hand, the following have been held to be Unreasonable
unreasonable conditions, and therefore void :
That the company would not be responsible for damage
to marbles sent by railway unless their value were declared
and an insurance premium of 10 per cent, on the declared
value paid (d).
That the company would not receive dogs for convey-
ance except upon the terms that they should not be respon-
sible for loss or damage to the dogs beyond 2/., unless a
percentage of 5 per cent, were paid on the declared excess
of value beyond 21. ; the rate for insurance being con-
sidered too high (e) .
" That the company would not in any case be liable for
loss or damage to a horse or other animal above the value
of 4U/., or any dog above the value of 51., unless a declara-
tion of its value, signed by the owner or his agent at the
time of booking, shall have been given to them " (/) ; but

Unreasonable it appears that if the company had merely limited their
common law liability by stipulating that they should not
be liable for loss resulting from mere accident, without
neglect or default on their part, the condition would have
been reasonable and valid (y).
That the "company would not be amenable for any
consequences arising from detention or delay in or relative
to the conveying or delivery of the said animals however
caused" (//).
That the owner should " undertake all risk of loading,
unloading, and carriage, whether arising from the negli-
gence or default of the company or their servants, or from
defect or imperfection of the station, platform, or other
places of loading or unloading, or of the carriage in which
the cattle may be loaded or conveyed, or from any other
cause whatever," although the company gave a free pass to
the persons in charge of the cattle (i).
" That with respect to any animals booked through by
the company or their agents for conveyance partly by
railway and partly by sea, or partly by canal and partly
by sea, such animals will only be conveyed on the condi-
tion that the company shall be exempt from any liability
for any loss or damage which may arise during the
carriage of such animals by sea, from the act of God,
accidents from machinery, and all and every other damages
and accidents of the seas, rivers, and navigation of what

CHAPTEE XII.
ARBITRATIONS UNDER THE BOARD OF TRADE ARBITRATIONS
ACT, 1874, AND THE ARBITRATION ACT, 1889.
IT will be found that the General Conditions contained in
the Schedules to the several Eailway Companies' Pro-
visional Orders, which are the subject of the second part of
this "Work, contain many provisions referring differences
arising between the railway companies and their traders to
the decision of the Board of Trade, or of an arbitrator to
be appointed by them(fl). And by clause 25 (ft) it is pro-
vided that the Board of Trade Arbitrations, &c. Act,
1874 (c), is to apply, so far as applicable, to every deter-
mination of a difference or question by arbitration under
the provisions therein contained. It may be useful, there-
fore, to consider this Act and the more general Arbitration
Act of 1889, so far as they are likely to bear on the
determination of these and similar differences.
The Board of Trade Arbitrations, &c. Act, 1874,
consists of two parts, the first dealing with Board of Trade
inquiries, and the second with the power of referring
questions to the decision of the Eailway and Canal Com-
mission.

Trade may make such inquiry as they think necessary for
the purpose of enabling them to comply with such requisi-
tion or to exercise such authority. Where an inquiry is
held by the Board of Trade for the purposes of this section,
or in pursuance of any general or special Act passed
either before or after the passing of this Act, directing or
authorising them to hold any inquiry, the Board of Trade
may hold such inquiry by any person or persons duly

tained in the said special Act) shall be defrayed by such of

under this Act will be materially different from a hearing
before an ordinary arbitrator, as, in addition to the powers
of an arbitrator, they are to have the same powers as if the
matter had been referred to their decision under the Traffic
Act of 1873. By sect. 18 of the Traffic Act of 1888, they
are to have, " for the attendance and examination of wit-
nesses, the production and inspection of documents, the
enforcement of their orders, the entry on and inspection
of property, and other matters necessary or proper for the
due exercise of their jurisdiction under this Act, or other-
wise for carrying this Act into effect," " all such powers,
rights, and privileges as are vested in a superior Court."
And under sect. 17 of the same Act an appeal on any
question of law lies from their decision straight to the
Court of Appeal.
The Arbitration Act, 1889.
By sect. 24 of the Arbitration Act, 1889 (o), it is Application of
enacted, " This Act shall apply to every arbitration under
any Act passed before or after the commencement of this
Act, as if the arbitration were pursuant to a submission,
except in so far as this Act is inconsistent with the Act
regulating the arbitration or with any rules or procedure
authorised or recognised by that Act." And it has been
held that to oust the operation of the Arbitration Act,
1889, the inconsistency must be an inconsistency of this
kind, viz., that the obligation imposed by the Arbitration
Act, 1889, must be so at variance with the machinery and
mode of procedure indicated by the Act providing for the
arbitration that, if the obligation imposed by the Act of
1889 were added, the machinery of the other Act would
not work (p) .
Under the Arbitration Act, 1889, a submission is, unless

the contrary is expressed, to be irrevocable except by leave
of the Court or a judge, and is to have the same effect as
if it had been made an order of Court (r). This does not,
however, make the arbitration a " proceeding in the Court"
within the meaning of sect. 100 of the Judicature Act,
1873 (s). Nor does it give the Court any greater power
over the arbitration than it had before the Act after the
agreement to refer had been made a rule of Court (f).
Before the passing of this Act it was held that the
Court had power to give leave to revoke a submission
where it appeared that the arbitrator was going wrong on
a point of law, even in a matter within his jurisdiction,
and would exercise the power unless the parties agreed to
allow the arbitrator to state a special case (it). This power
was, however, discretionary, and the Court would be re-
luctant to exercise it after a final award was made (v).
In a similar case at the present time the Court would
probably order the arbitrator to state a case under sect. 19
of the Act (x).
Appointment of Arbitrator.
Where the arbitration takes place under the Board of
Trade Arbitrations, &c. Act, 1874, the appointment of the
arbitrator or arbitrators will be made by the Board of
Trade.
If, however, the arbitration take place under an agree-
ment between the parties to submit the matter in dispute
to arbitration, the general law will apply.

submission provides that the reference shall be to an
official referee, any official referee to whom application is
made shall, subject to any order of the Court or a judge
as to transfer or otherwise, hear and determine the matters
agreed to be referred." This seems to give the parties
power to select whatever official referee they choose. The
Lord Chancellor, however, and the Lord Chief Justice, or
either of them, has power to order the transfer of any
causes or matters from any one or more of the official
referees to any other or others of them whenever, in his
opinion, it is expedient so to do, having regard to the state
of the business pending before the referees (//),
Under the Arbitration Act, 1889 (2), unless the contrary Implied pro-
is expressed, a submission is to be deemed to include the
following provisions as to the appointment of arbitrators,
so far as they are applicable to the reference :
" (a) If no other mode of reference is provided, the
reference shall be to a single arbitrator."
In an arbitration under the Board of Trade Arbi-
trations Act, 1874, however, the arbitrator or arbitrators
would be specified in the order of the Board of Trade.
" (b) If the reference is to two arbitrators, the two arbi-
trators may appoint an umpire at any time within
the period during which they have power to make
an award."
When two arbitrators have to appoint an umpire, such Umpire,
an appointment is a judicial act (a), and must in no case
be decided by chance or lot (b), unless the parties to the

reference consent to such method of appointment (c). An
appointment by lot, however, between two persons, each of
whom was acknowledged by both arbitrators to be a fit
person, was upheld (d).
In certain cases the Court has power to appoint an
arbitrator. Sect. 5 provides,
" In any of the following cases :
(a) Where the submission provides that the reference
shall be to a single arbitrator, and all the parties
do not, after differences have arisen, concur in the

(b) If an appointed arbitrator refuses to act, or is in-

vacancy :

as the case may be, with a written notice to appoint an
arbitrator, umpire, or third arbitrator.
" If the appointment is not made within seven clear days
after the service of the notice, the Court or a judge may,
on application by the party who gave the notice, appoint
an arbitrator, umpire, or third arbitrator, who shall have

The fact that the person named as arbitrator has an
interest in the subject-matter of the arbitration is a suffi-
cient reason why the matter should not be referred in
accordance with the submission ( p) . And it may be
sufficient reason that the person objecting to the arbi-
tration has disregarded the agreement to refer and taken
the law into his own hands (q) ; or that he merely wants to
waste time and delay the other party (r) ; or that the
agreement to refer has been properly revoked and has no
longer any effect (s). And so the Court will refuse to stay
the proceedings in an action where it appears that the
agreement to refer is incomplete, and the parties had never
arrived ad idem with regard to it(tf). If, however, the
agreement be in writing, and represent the contract between
the parties, it is not material that it is not signed by both
parties (i*).
As a rule where charges of fraud are brought forward)
and the person charged with fraud objects to arbitration,
it will be sufficient reason for the Court to refuse to compel
the parties to go to arbitration (v). But if it is the person
bringing the charge of fraud who objects to the reference,

of an arbitrator shall be a condition precedent to an action
by the plaintiff, the Court will not allow him to proceed
by action, even though the defendant has charged him
with fraud (y), and refused to go to arbitration ; the plain-
tiff being able to force an arbitration upon him (z).
The jurisdiction of the Court is not ousted by a sub- Waiver,
mission to arbitration, and the parties may waive their
right to a reference, and proceed with their action, but if
they do so, one of them cannot afterwards insist on arbi-
tration (a) .
The obtaining from the other party of a consent to the Step in the
extension of time for delivering a pleading is not a step in pr
the proceedings which would prevent the party obtaining
it from asking for a stay of the action, but the taking out
of a summons for particulars of the pleading of the other
party is a step in the proceedings, notwithstanding that
the pleading was amended subsequently to the taking out
of the summons, and so is an application for leave to ad-
minister interrogatories which is granted (b) .

to the other side, or an adjournment may be asked for (in).
It is enacted by the Arbitration Act, 1889(w), that
unless the contrary is stated the following provision shall
be implied in the submission so far as applicable to the
reference.
" The parties to the reference, and all persons claiming
through them respectively, shall, subject to any legal
objection, submit to be examined by the arbitrators or
umpire, on oath or affirmation, in relation to the matters
in dispute, and shall, subject as aforesaid, produce before
the arbitrators or umpire, all books, deeds, papers, accounts,
writings, and documents within their possession or power
respectively, which may be required or called for, and do
all other things which during the proceedings on the
reference the arbitrators or umpire may require. And "Witnesses,
also(o), that the witnesses^ on the reference shall, if the
arbitrators or umpire think fit, be examined on oath or
affirmation.
And it is provided by the same Act(p), that any party
to a submission may sue out a writ of subpoena ad testifican-
dum or of subpoena duces tecum, but no person shall be com-
pelled under any such writ to produce any document which he
could not be compelled to produce on the trial of an action.
If a document is material to the matter in question it Document,
may be protected from production on any of the following tected.

Evidence. Arbitrators are bound by those rules of evidence which

Admissibility. It has long been considered that the arbitrator's decision
as to the admissibility of evidence was final, and that his
award could not be impeached on the ground that he had
decided wrongly as to the admissibility of certain evi-
dence (/) ; and probably when the award was once made
the Court would now, in the exercise of its discretion,
refuse to disturb it on that ground (m). If, however, the
evidence were of sufficient importance, the question of its
admissibility would be one on which the arbitrator might
fairly be asked to state a case under sect. 7 of the Act, or
on which the Court would direct him to do so under
sect. 19 ().
Taking The arbitrator, however, must be careful to see that each
party has an opportunity of being heard before him (0),
even though he be a mercantile arbitrator, and must take
any evidence adduced by the parties, which is admissible,
even though he may think he has already sufficient evidence
before him (p) 9 or the award will be liable to be set aside,

though, perhaps, he has some discretion as to the quantity
of evidence he will receive (q) . It is, however, a matter
entirely in the discretion of the arbitrator whether he will
or will not postpone the reference in order to give one of
the parties an opportunity of bringing a witness from
abroad (r) , and he may refuse to hear fresh evidence from
a party who has definitely closed his case, if no evidence
has been called on the other side (s).
The witnesses should be examined in the presence of both Evidence,
parties, as if the arbitrator receive evidence in the absence
of either party the award may be set aside (t), or at least
remitted to the arbitrator (ti). Nor can the examination
of witnesses in the absence of both parties be justified (w).
Lord Cran worth stated his opinion, in the House of Lords,
that " an arbitrator misconceives his duty if he, in any the
minutest respect, takes upon himself to listen to evidence
behind the back of a party who is interested in contro-
verting, or is entitled to controvert it " (a?). If, however,
the evidence be taken in the absence of one party by his
consent, he cannot afterwards object to the award on that
ground (y) .

to waive their right to have the matter re-heard if they

If the time expire without any enlargement being made,
or if an invalid enlargement be made, and the parties sub-

objection, they cannot afterwards object to the award on
the ground that the arbitrator's authority had deter-
mined (c) ; but such attendance will not empower the arbi-
trator to make further enlargements by himself alone (/).
And after the case is closed and the time expired a request

Stating a CW.
There is no appeal from the award of an arbitrator, even Court may
though his decision involves matters of law, provided he
has acted honestly (^), but provision is made for the state-
ment of a case on any point of law. " Any referee, arbi-
trator, or umpire, may, at any stage of proceedings under
a reference, and shall, if so directed by the Court or a
judge, state in the form of a special case, for the opinion
of the Court, any question of law arising in the course of
the reference " ().
This power to order a case to be stated by the arbitrator
applies to arbitrations under the Building Societies Act,
1874 (ic). In a case where at an early stage of the pro-
ceedings the arbitrators refused to state a case on a
question as to the construction of an agreement, the Court
declined to order a case, holding that the mere fact of
there being a question of law to be decided was not a
sufficient ground for a case to be ordered, unless there was
some evidence that the arbitrators were going beyond their
jurisdiction, or were about to act contrary to the law (x).
We have seen that the arbitrator may state his award as Award in
to the whole or part thereof, in the form of a special case, orm
for the opinion of the Court (y).

draw inferences of fact, but should state what facts he
finds (a). And he must find the facts definitely (b).
"Where important questions were involved in the arbi-
trator's decision, the Court ordered the arbitrator to state
a case after he had made his award, showing his reasons
for the decision given by him (c). In another case, where
the reference was ordered by the Court, the order of refer-
ence contained a direction to the referee to state a case on
any question of law that might arise (d).

has no power to alter it, and can only send it back to the
arbitrator or set it aside (e) .

on a case stated during the reference under sect. 20 of the

with the umpire, who afterwards made the award, and it
appeared that one of the arbitrators was interested in it,
the award was set aside, although made by the umpire,
who was not so interested^). And if the parties, after
discovering the arbitrator's interest in the subject-matter,
allow the arbitration to proceed without objection, they
may be held to have waived their right to object on that
ground (y).
And where there are three arbitrators, the exclusion of
one by the other two is misconduct for which the award
would be set aside (s).
Infamy, i.e., perjury or fraud on the part of the arbi- Infamy,
trator is also a ground on which he will be removed or the
award set aside ().
The award may be set aside if the arbitrator delegate Delegating
his authority (&), but this does not prevent him from
receiving as evidence the opinions of skilled persons (c).
Such misconduct, however, must be clearly proved, mere
suspicion is not enough (d). And evidence of an admis-
sion out of Court by an arbitrator, before witnesses, that he
made his award improperly as, for example, by collusion
or in consequence of a bribe is not admissible in support
of an application to set aside the award. Such an admis-
sion must be made to the Court itself (e) .

Enforcing
award.
Evidence of
arbitrator.
It is not proposed to go into all the cases in which awards
were set aside prior to the Arbitration Act, 1889. The
powers now possessed by the Court are so much greater
since that Act, that in many cases where the Court
would formerly have been compelled to set aside the award
it might now find some other means of doing justice to
the parties, as by directing the arbitrator to state a case
for its opinion.
Enforcing Award.
Under the Arbitration Act, 1889 (/), an award on a
submission may, by leave of the Court or a judge, be en-
forced in the same manner as a judgment or order to the
same effect. And the Rules of the Supreme Court pro-
vide (g) that an award may, with the leave of the Court or
a judge, and on such terms as may be just, be enforced at
any time, though the time for moving to set it aside has
not yet elapsed.
It has been decided by the House of Lords (h) that an
arbitrator can be called as a witness in a legal proceeding
to enforce his award ; he may be asked questions as to what
passed before him, and as to what matters were presented
to him for consideration ; but no questions can be put to
him as to what passed in his own mind when exercising
his discretionary power on the matters submitted to him.
Also the Court will admit the evidence of an arbitrator
in explanation of his award where it appears there has been
some mistake on his part(/).
If, however, an arbitrator's award has not been taken up
he is privileged from producing, as a witness, either the
;i\s;ml, the submission, or papers obtained by him from
(/) Sect. 12.

experts for his guidance, and from disclosing the contents
of the award ; but arbitrators are bound to produce docu-
ments handed to them during the investigation by the
party who calls them (k) .
Costs.
Unless the contrary is expressed in the submission it is Costs,
provided (/), that " the costs of the reference and the award
shall be in the discretion of the arbitrators or umpire, who
may direct to and by whom and in what manner those costs,
or any part thereof, shall be paid, and may tax or settle the
amount of costs to be so paid, or any part thereof, and may
award costs to be paid as between solicitor and client."
And this applies tinder a submission dated prior to the
Act where the arbitration took place after the Act (m) .
And with regard to orders made under the Arbitration Costs under
Act, 1889, it is provided (n) 9 that " any order made under Act! r '
this Act may be made on such terms as to costs or other-
wise as the authority making the order thinks just."
But the decision of the Court on a special case stated by
the arbitrator in the course of the reference is not an " order"
so as to enable the Court to order payment of the costs of

The date is 1st August, 1892, as printed, for the nine companies
having a terminus in London, and for the other companies the
1st January, 1893. But as in the case of those nine companies the
Board of Trade have extended the commencement to the 1st of
January, 1893, all the provisional orders will come into force on
the same day, viz., 1st January, 1893.

The following clauses (1 to 28 inclusive) are, except where spe- General
dally mentioned, common to the schedules of all the English com- conditions,
panics, and are hereafter referred to as the ' ' general conditions," and
may conveniently be divided as follows : clauses 2 to 9 inclusive,
and clause 22 (returned empties), specify what charges the company
may make, and what services are covered by such charges in each
case.
Clauses 10 to 18 inclusive deal with the manner in which the rate
is to be calculated.
Clauses 19 to 21 inclusive, and 23 to 28, are of a miscellaneous
character.
It will be noticed that in these clauses a curious distinction is Carriage and
drawn between the expressions " carriage" and " conveyance." conveyance.
To understand this and the following sections, it will be necessary
to consider the charging powers of the majority of railway com-
panies prior to the commencement of these provisional orders. As
is well known, the contract of carnage usually entered into by
railway companies is either for carriage of the goods from ono
station to another at a statioii-to-station rate, or for the carriage of
the goods from the point of departure to the ultimate consignee at
184 PROVISIONAL ORDERS GENERAL CONDITIONS.
a collection and delivery rate, and in practice a single gross charge
is made in both cases.
But, in the first case, the services of the company are confined to
acts performed on their own line, while in the second they act as
earners by road as well as by rail. The rate clauses of most com-
panies' special Acts provided a maximum rate for conveyance
which was to include the provision of trucks and locomotive power,
and every other expense incidental to such conveyance, except
a reasonable sum for loading and unloading, covering collection
and delivery, and every other service incidental to the duty or
Terminal business of a carrier. Clauses similar to this occasioned much liti-
question. gation, and raised what was called the terminal question. On the
Traders' view, part of the traders, it was contended that fche distinction in such
clauses was virtually that above mentioned between station to
station traffic, which was intended to be covered by the conveyance
rate, and collection and delivery traffic, or traffic in which the
company performed duties or services other than carriage by rail-
way, and that the carrier for whose services the company might
charge when performed by them in addition to their conveyance
rate, meant a earner to and from the railway as distinguished from
a carrier on the line, and that, in this view, accommodation provided
at the terminal station was not to be the subject of a separate
charge (e}.
Companies' On the other hand, the railway companies maintained that a
view. distinction of a much less simple character was intended. They
said that in the early days of railway traffic the great carriers,
such as Pickford, or Chaplin & Home, had been in the habit of
undertaking the carriage of goods, either owning the goods stations,
or renting them from the railway companies, and bringing the
goods to their stations and there sorting, loading, and labelling
them, and receiving them again at the end of their transit by rail-
way, sorting them in their goods sheds, and delivering them to the
ultimate consignees, the railway company doing nothing but the
haulage from point to point on the railway, while the carrier in-
cluded in his charge sufficient to recoup himself for the provision
of the goods stations and all the work of sorting, weighing, check-
ing, labelling, (!] -kage, and other work necessary to pivparo the
goods for transit by railway. The railway companies contended
that, having succeeded to the business of these large carriers and
acquired their stations and goods sheds, they were entitled to
charge their maximum rate for conveyance, for the haulage from
point to point, and in addition thereto a reasonable sum for the

may not charge to a trader any service terminal
for the performance by the company of any of
the said services if the trader has requested the
company to allow him to perform the service for
himself, and the company have unreasonably
refused to allow him to do so. Any dispute
between a trader and the company in reference
to any service terminal charged to a trader, who
is not allowed by the company to perform for
himself the service, shall be determined by the
Board of Trade.
The maximum service terminals for traffic in classes C. to 5 of
the classification will be found after the maximum rate for each
class of traffic : see note to clause 2, ante.
Service It will be observed that maximum service terminals are only
terminals for nxe d by these schedules in the case of traffic comprised in classes
A. aud B. ; . . . ..
C. to 5 inclusive. When loading or unloading, covering or un-
covering, merchandise is performed by the company for traffic in
classes A. or B., such sendee becomes the subject of a special
charge, for which a reasonable sum by way of addition to the
tonnage rate may be exacted : see clause 5.
There is an important distinction between charges for service
terminals made under this clause, and those made under clause 5
for special services. Except in the case of merchandise conveyed in
a separate truck, and loaded or unloaded elsewhere than in a shed or
building of the company, the trader has no option of performing the
service himself, nor is there any provision made to enable the trader
to dispense with any of these services which he may not require.
Under clause 5, however, it is open to the trader to give notice to
the company that ho does not require any of the special services
there mentioned, in which case no charge can be made by the
company for their performance.
It is curious that under this clause any dispute with regard to a
waggon loaded elsewhere than in a slu-d or building of the company
is to be determined by the Board of Trad**, whilst other disputes
referred to in the provisional orders arc to be determined by an
arbitrator to be appointed by the Board of Trade. Having regard,
however, to tli<> Hoard of Trade Arbitrations Act, 1874 (see clause
25), the Board of Trade will be able to appoint any person to hold

an inquiry on their behalf, and tlio result will not be very
dissimilar.
This clause makes no provision for the reduction of the
maximum where the terminal services are performed partly by
the company and partly by the trader; and it has been held
under the old law that a carrier, whoso men gave assistance to a
railway company in the loading, unloading, and weighing of goods,
voluntarily or for the carrier's own convenience, was not entitled
to recover any allowance from the railway company in respect of
such assistance (#). With regard to merchandise loaded or unloaded
in the company's sheds, this would probably still be the law. But
it is submitted that if the merchandise was loaded or unloaded
elsewhere, and the trader had applied to be allowed to perform the
service himself, the fact that he had been allowed partially to do so
might fairly be taken into consideration by any arbitrator to whom
a dispute under this section had been referred.

The law relating to private sidings has boon discussed ante, (i.) Sidings.
pp. L'l to L'S.
Under this clause a railway company would probably bo justified
in making a rharg' 1 in ivspoct of their engine proceeding for any
distance along the siding to collect trucks, and also for any mar-
shalling or shunting which they performed for the trader on his
private siding ; but if the trader had arranged his trucks properl y,
and as near to the entrance of the siding as was reasonably safe,
the company would probably be unable to charge for going on to
the line merely to attach the trader's trucks to their engine as a
special service (A), such service being a reasonable facility.
Sect. 7G of the Railways Clauses Act, 1845, provides that, in the
f sidings made under that section, " the company shall take
no rate, toll, or other moneys for the passing of passengers' goods
or things along any branch" made under that section.
A private siding would not come within the definition of a
terminal station (clause 26), but sidings made under agreement
with a railway company would be subject to the terms of that
agreement, and sidings provided by the company would be subject
to the charges authorized by clause 7, post (i}.
As to collection and delivery, see p. 50. (ii.) Collection
Hitherto a railway company have been allowed to make a charge an< ^ delivery,
to a trader for weighing his merchandise if they could prove an ("*) Weigh-
agreement with him that they should do so, either expressly or by
implication (k) ; but in the absence of some agreement they could
make no such charge (/). The fact of a railway company being
now specifically empowered to make such a charge would seem to
relieve the company of the onus of proving an agreement to pay
the charge ; but at the same time it is submitted that the company
could be called upon to show that the weighing was done for the
convenience or at the request of the trader, and not simply for the
purpose of checking for the benefit of the company.
Sub-sect. 4 seems to authorize two separate charges : (1) a charge (iv.) Deten-
for demurrage for detention of trucks; (2) a charge for wharfage tionof
or warehousing.
The charge for wharfage or warehousing only arises after

the expiration of the time reasonably necessary for the company
to deal with the merchandise or the consignee to take delivery
thereof.
It is not clear from the wording of the sub-section whether the
charge for demurrage is subject to the same limitation, or whether
any detention of trucks can be charged for.
It is believed that in practice charges for demurrage are not
made until the expiration of a reasonable time after the arrival of
the truck at its destination, and the fact of these two charges being
grouped together in the same sub-section would seem to point to
their being both subject to the limitation following them.
But even if this view be adopted, it is probable that the company
might be entitled to make a charge if they allowed their trucks to
be used on a trader's siding off their own line ; and in a case before
the old Railway Commissioners, where a railway company were in
the habit of supplying waggons to traders who loaded and un-
loaded them on their own premises, and hauled them to and from
the railway company's stations at their own expense, the company
were held entitled to a reasonable charge in respect of the waggons
having been used on places off their own line, and \ d. was thought
to be a reasonable remuneration (m).
Where trucks belonging to a trader are detained by the company
for an unreasonable length of time, he can now recover demurrage
against the company. (See clause 6.)
For loading, unloading, covering, and uncovering merchandise
comprised in classes C. to 5, see clause 4, ante.
The fact of charges for loading and unloading, &c., merchandise
in classes A. and B. being placed in this clause instead of clause -J,
will have the effect of enabling the trader always to perform the
service for himself if he desire to do so.
The Railway Commissioners have held 2>f. per ton to bo a
iv:t.n;iblo charge for the use of coal drops, a small rent also Iving
charged for the exclusive use of a particular coal drop (//) ; but
where the company charged the consignee for the use of coal drops,
and also tried to charge the consignor for the same, they were
restrained from doing so (o).

SCHEDULE OF MAXIMUM RATES AND CHARGES, 1. 1 . 1 '.">
On the North Wales Narrow Gauge Railway the charge i'<>r
trucks is %d. per ton per mile (seopost, p. 238).
The provision of trucks is not included in the conveyance rate
for class A. (clause 2, ///).
When the company do not provide trucks for the conveyance of
goods other than those in class A., the conveyance rate is to be
reduced by an amount which, when the distance is under fifty inil< s
is to be determined by arbitration, and when over fifty miles, by the
amounts specified in this clause (see clause 2 (b) ).
II. PROVISIONS AS TO FIXING RATES AND CHARGES.
10. In calculating the distance along the rail- Distance not
way for the purpose of the maximum charge for terminal
conveyance of any merchandise, the company 8
shall not include any portion of their railway
which may, in respect of that merchandise, be the
subject of a charge for station terminal.
In calculating the mileage for the purpose of ascertaining the
conveyance rate, the usual plan will be to take the actual mileage
from the point just outside the terminal station, or the point of
junction with a private siding, as the case may be, where convey-
ance in the technical sense (explained in the note to clause 1)
commences, to the point at the terminus of the railway transit
where the conveyance ceases. To this, however, there are three
exceptions: (1) If the distance is so short as to come within the
short distance clause (clause 11) the mileage there allowed may
be charged for ; (2) where at the point of junction of two lines
there is no station at which traffic can be transferred from one line
to the other, and a railway company's usual custom is to carry the
traffic past the junction to a neighbouring station in order to effect
the transference, and then back along the line and through the
junction, the company will be justified in adding the double mileage
from the junction to such station to the actual distance from point
to point, in order to calculate the conveyance rate (ra) ; (3) in
respect of certain portions of the line on account of the cost of con-
struction or working that portion having been or being peculiarly
heavy, or for some similar reason. Certain companies are specially
authorised to charge as for a greater distance than that actually

carried. The cases in which this exception is authorised will be
found in the table on p. 461.
The question as to what portion of the line of railway travelled
over is the subject of a charge for station terminal is likely to be
one of some difficulty. In clause 2 the maximum conveyance rate
is defined as the maximum rate which the company may charge
for the conveyance of merchandise "by merchandise train, including,
except as otherwise provided, the provision of locomotive power
and trucks ; and in clause 3 the maximum station terminal is called
the maximum charge which the company may make to a trader
for the accommodation (exclusive of coal drops) provided, and for
the duties undertaken by the company for which no other provision
is made in this schedule, at the terminal station, for or in dealing
with merchandise, as carriers thereof, before or after conveyance
(the technical sense in which the word conveyance, as distinguished
from carriage, must be understood, is explained in the note to
clause 1); and in clause 26 a "terminal station" is defined as a
station or place upon the railway at which merchandise is loaded
or unloaded before or after conveyance on the railway. But little
help, therefore, as to what is included in the words "terminal
station" is to be found in the schedule itself. From the foregoing
extracts, however, it may be gathered that a sharp distinction is
drawn between the service of conveyance in its technical sense, i. e. ,
haulage, and other services which the company render in dealing
with the merchandise, and that the services covered by the charge
for station terminal end as soon as conveyance (?'. e., haulage
simply) begins. To make this distinction clear, the following
extracts from the evidence of Mr. Findlay (r/), taken before the Board
of Trade, have been given, but, except so far as they embody the
views of one of our greatest railway managers, they are not to be
taken as authoritative.
Mr. Findlay, in his evidence before the Board of Trade at the
inquiry at Westminster Town Hall in 1889-90, explained his view
as to what was part of the terminal station, and what was not, as
follows (p. 136, question 176): "There is a place just outside all
the large terminal stations, and not the largest only, but others
which are not so large, where the formation of the trucks into train-
loads takes place, that is, what may be called the shunting and
marshalling of the trains; where the journey of the train com-
mences, and also where it terminates ; and the business in connec-
tion with the working of the station is carried on from that point
in^i'lf tin- limiN of the station." Q. 180. "The conveying com-
mences at the sidings and terminates at the sidings close to the
station? A. Quite so."
() Now Sir George Findlay, General Manager of the L. & N. W. Ry.
SCHEDULE OF MAXIMUM RATES AND CHARGES, ETC. 197
And at pai^o 215, in answor to question Slo, "You must dis-
tinguish, it you please, marshalling from shunting. We includi-
something for shunting within the station, whether that shunting
is done by engines, by horses, or by hydraulic power. Marshalling
is a service, as we understand it, incidental to conveyance : that ia
to say, putting the waggons into train and station order ; therefore,
anything that is performed outside the station in the way of
marshalling in train and station order is not included in the cost of
terminal service."
Mr. Courtenay Boyle asked (question 823): " Did I gather from
you, Mr. Findlay, that, technically speaking, marshalling is diffe-
rent from shunting, and that marshalling is done outside the goods
station, and shunting inside the goods station ? "
Mr. Findlay replied, ' ' What I understand, speaking as a railway
manager, by the term ' marshalling,' means that when a train is
formed for a given destination the waggons are marshalled, put in
such order that they can be taken off at the stations ; where the
waggons have to be left at any given destination they are put
together and marshalled in station order. While shunting the
waggons inside the station would mean taking them from separate
sidings, either by means of an engine, or by horse, or by hydraulic
power, and placing them alongside to load, and taking them back
again into the reception sidings."
Question 824, by Mr. Balfour Browne : "Would this be a correct
description of the services : ' Shunting and placing the waggons into
position for loading at the station and haulage thence to the place
where they are picked up by the train, including the use of junctions
and expenses of working the same ? ' '
Answer (Mr. Findlay) : " That is not an unfair description."
11. Where merchandise is conveyed for an short distance
entire distance which does not exceed, in the c
case of merchandise in respect of which a station
terminal is chargeable at each end of the transit,
three miles, or in the case of merchandise in
respect of which a station terminal is chargeable
at one end of the transit four and a half miles, or
in the case of merchandise in respect of which no
station terminal is chargeable six miles, the com-
pany may, except as hereinafter specially pro-
vided, make the charges for conveyance authorised

by tins schedule as for three miles, four and a
half miles, and six miles respectively. Provided
that where merchandise is conveyed by the com-
pany partly on the railway and partly on the
railway of any other company the railway and
the railway of such other company shall, for the
purpose of reckoning such short distance, be con-
sidered as one railway.
It will be seen hereafter that for portions of certain railways
this short distance clause, under which the company is entitled to
charge as for a minimum distance, is varied.

SCOTCH RAILWAYS,
In the case of the Scotch Railways the Act of Confirming
Parliament confirming the Provisional Order of
the Board of Trade is similar to that applying to
the English companies. See ante, p. 179.
The Provisional Order of the Board of Trade Provisional
is also similar. See ante, p. 181.
The schedule of Maximum Eates and Charges, Schedule.
however, differs slightly from that of the English
companies. For instance, in the General Con-
ditions the provisions for the carriage of goods in
owners' waggons are not the same, clause 2 of the
Conditions in the English schedules being con-
siderably modified, and clause 9 absent altogether.
As this causes similar clauses to be differently
numbered, the General Conditions contained in
the Scotch schedules are printed here separately ;
for comments on the clauses the reader is referred
to the similar clauses in the schedules of the
English companies. Parts III. to VI. inclusive
are similar to the English schedules, and for them
the reader is referred back to pp. 209 215, and
the classification is also similar for both Scotch
and English companies, and will be found post,
p. 365.
[NOTE. The General Conditions of the North Eastern Railway
are similar to those of the Scotch and not of the English railways.]

APPENDIX D.
SOME OF THE MORE IMPORTANT CONVEYANCE RATES
WORKED OUT
FOE DISTANCES UP TO 200 MILES.
In consequence of the complexity of many of the conveyance
rates (many of them requiring four separate sums in multipli-
cation, and one in addition), it has been thought desirable to
give the more important rates worked out, so that the convey-
ance rate for any distance up to 200 miles may be ascertained
at a glance.
In the following tables the more important rates in the
various classes will be found arranged in order of magnitude.
In selecting the rates to be worked out only the more com-
plex have been chosen, and so all rates which are the same
for all distances, and only require a single process of multipli-
cation in order to ascertain them have been omitted.
The figures opposite the mileage distances give the convey-
ance rates only, so that all terminals and special charges, such
as charges for collection and delivery, &c., must be added to
them in order to arrive at the gross maximum chargeable.
