 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.

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 Act in each case consists of two clauses only, one The Act. 
 giving the short title, and the other confirming the order 
 in the schedule. 
 
 The order in each case consists of four clauses, and pro- The Order, 
 vides for (1) the short title to the order ; (2) the com- 
 mencement of the order ; (3) the interpretation ; (4) the 
 application of the schedule of maximum rates and charges, 
 and the classification of traffic. 
 
 Then follows the schedule of maximum rates and charges. The Schedule.

 This is divided into six parts, as follows : 
 Part I. Merchandise. 
 II. Animals. 
 
 III. Carriages. 
 
 IV. Exceptional charges. 
 Y. Perishables. 
 
 VI. Small parcels. 
 
 General con- The schedule of any of the English companies (/) com- 
 ditions. mences with twenty-eight clauses, which are similar for 
 
 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 
 
 (/) Except tin- North 
 
 (<f) The classification as it appears in the schedules will be found 
 on p. 3ou, and a list of the articles specified in the classification in 
 alphabetical order will be found on p. 404.

 companies themselves for many years past. The three 
 lowest classes are denoted by the letters A, B, and C, and 
 contain chiefly minerals and goods of a rough nature, 
 which are frequently termed " yard " traffic, from the fact 
 that they can as a rule be dealt with out of doors without the 
 necessity of loading and unloading in sheds or warehouses. 
 These three classes correspond to the Clearing House 
 classes MA, MB, and Special class. The higher classes 
 of traffic (known as " class " traffic to distinguish them 
 from " yard " traffic) are divided into five classes, numbered 
 from 1 to 5, and correspond approximately with the classes 
 so named in the Clearing House classification. 
 
 In the schedule of the North Easfern the general condi- North 
 tions are similar to those of the Scotch companies (h) ; but Eastern - 
 Part II. (animals) is similar to that of the English schedules. 
 
 The Confirming Act and formal order of the Irish com- Irish com- 
 panies are the same as those of the English companies. P anies - 
 The general conditions are also the same, except that the 
 Irish schedule has a special tariff for brewers' returned 
 empties (/). Part I. is, of course, different, and so is 
 Part II. (animals). Parts III. to VI. inclusive and the 
 classification are the same as those of the English companies. 
 
 The Confirming Act and formal order of the Scotch Snotch corn- 
 companies are similar to those of the English and Irish 
 companies ; the general conditions (/ ) , however, are slightly 
 different, the provision of trucks for class A traffic being 
 included in the rate. This leads to a modification of 
 clause 2, and to the omission of clause 9 ; and conse- 
 quently the remaining clauses do not correspond numeri- 
 cally with those of the English and Irish companies. 
 
 Part I. varies with the different companies. Part II. 
 (animals) is the same for all the Scotch companies, but 
 differs from that of the English and Irish schedules. 
 
 Part III. carriages, Part IV. exceptional, Part V. 
 perishables, and Part VI. small parcels, and the classifica- 
 tion are similar to those of the English and Irish schedules.

 THE LAW RELATING TO THE CARRIAGE OF 
 MERCHANDISE BY RAILWAY. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 THE RAILWAY AND CANAL COMMISSION. 
 
 THE Court having special jurisdiction in railway matters 
 is the Railway and Canal Commission. It has powers to 
 some extent executive as well as judicial, and it is proposed 
 to state shortly the nature and extent of its jurisdiction 
 and the manner in which it has been administered. The 
 Railway and Canal Commission, as constituted hy the 
 Railway and Canal Traffic Act, 1888 (a), consists of two 
 appointed Commissioners (), appointed on the recommen- 
 dation of the Board of Trade ; and three ex offido Com- 
 missioners, judges of the superior Caurts (c), one being 
 nominated for England, one for Scotland, and the third 
 for Ireland. Not less than three Commissioners are to 
 attend at the hearing of any case, and the ex offido Com- 
 missioner is to preside, and his opinion on a point of law 
 is to prevail (d). And there is provision made for the

 nomination of a temporary Commissioner in the place of 
 any appointed or ex officio Commissioner, who may be 
 unable to attend at the hearing of any case (e) . 
 
 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 
 Sidings.

 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). 
 
 Wlio may make Complaints to the Railway and Canal 
 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. 
 
 And under the Act of 1873 (<?), any person (which by 
 the definition clause (/) includes a body of persons corpo- 
 rate or unincorporate) complaining of anything done or of 
 any omission made in violation or contravention of sect. 2 
 of the Traffic Act of 1854, or of sect. 16 of the Regulation 
 of Bail ways Act, 1868 (*), or of the Act of 1873, or of any 
 enactment amending or applying the same respectively, 
 might apply to the Commissioners, and upon the certificate 
 of the Board of Trade alleging any such violation or con- 
 travention, any person appointed by the Board of Trade 
 in that behalf (t) might in like manner apply to the 
 Commissioners.

 Bailway and Canal Commission all the jurisdiction and 
 powers which at the commencement of this Act were 
 vested in or capable of being exercised by the Bail way 
 Commissioners, whether under the Act of 1873 or any 
 other Act. And this Act also enables certain local autho- 
 rities and bodies of traders to make complaint to the Kail- 
 way and Canal Commission. 
 
 The statute enacts (?r) : 
 
 Sub-s. (1). "Any of the following authorities, that is Provision for 
 
 to Say complaints 
 
 by puhlK! 
 
 (a) any of the following local authorities, namely, any authority in 
 
 harbour board, or conservancy authority, the Com- 
 mon Council of the City of London, any council of 
 a city or borough, any representative county body 
 which may be created by an Act passed in the 
 present or any future session of Parliament, any 
 justices in quarter sessions assembled, the Com- 
 missioners of Supply of any county in Scotland, 
 the Metropolitan Board of Works, or any urban 
 sanitary authority not being a council as aforesaid, 
 or any rural sanitary authority ; or 
 
 (b) any such association of traders or freighters, or 
 
 chamber of commerce or agriculture as may obtain 
 a certificate from the Board of Trade that it is, in 
 the opinion of the Board of Trade, a proper body 
 to make such complaint, 
 
 may make to the Commissioners any complaint which the 
 Commissioners have jurisdiction to determine, and may do 
 so without proof that such authority is aggrieved by the 
 matter complained of, and any of such authorities may 
 appear in opposition to any complaint which the Com- 
 missioners have jurisdiction to determine in any case 
 where such authority, or the persons represented by them, 
 appear to the Commissioners to be likely to be affected by 
 
 (w) Ibid. B. 7.

 any determination of the Commissioners upon such com- 
 plaint." 
 
 Sub-s. (2). " The Board of Trade may, if they think fit, 
 require, as a condition of giving a certificate under this 
 section, that security be given in such manner and to such 
 amount as they think necessary, for any costs which the 
 complainants may be ordered to pay or bear." 
 
 Sub-s. (3). "Any certificate granted under this section 
 shall, unless withdrawn, be in force for twelve months 
 from the date on which it was given." 
 
 Although these local authorities and bodies of traders 
 have power to make complaints to the commission " with- 
 out proof that the authority is aggrieved by the matter 
 complained of," yet, on a similar clause under the Act of 
 1873, the old Eailway Commissioners refused to grant relief 
 where neither the complainants, nor the inhabitants of their 
 district, nor the persons on whose behalf the complaint was 
 preferred were in any way connected or identified with the 
 matter complained of (#) ; and in a recent case, the Court 
 laid it down that the provision in question does not require 
 the Court necessarily to redress fanciful, or merely theo- 
 retical inequalities of charge or preferences of any other 
 description; and that, "if it was established that the 
 matters complained of were such as could not affect the 
 interest of the applicants or the trade which they repre- 
 sented, it would be quite within the competence of the 
 Court to refuse to give judgment upon an academic 
 discussion presumably under such circumstances with very 
 imperfect information" (y). But under the provisions of 
 sect. 7, the objection that what is complained of does not 
 hurt the applicants must be dealt with somewhat strictly, 
 and it is sufficient to warrant the application and to call

 on the Court for its interference if the practices complained 
 of, whether their present effect be serious or trivial, are in 
 themselves legally objectionable, and if they may lead to 
 consequences injurious to the interests of those represented 
 by the applicants (c) . 
 
 In spite of the wide terms of this section, it seems Through 
 doubtful whether a local authority or body of traders rt 
 could propose a through rate ; their powers with regard 
 to through rates are probably limited to making a com- 
 plaint of unreasonable charges to the Board of Trade 
 under sect. 31 of the Act of 1888, and it will probably be 
 held, as the Commissioners held under the Act of 1873, 
 that such authority has no power, as such, to propose a 
 through rate (a). 
 
 In addition to the local authorities mentioned in this 
 section, port and harbour authorities are specially em- 
 powered, by sect. 30 of the Act of 1888, to make complaint 
 to the Railway and Canal Commission of any undue pre- 
 judice or disadvantage to which their dock may be subjected 
 by a railway company (b) .

 CHAPTER II. 
 
 THE BOARD OF TRADE. 
 
 THE Board of Trade have, as is well known, considerable 
 powers of an administrative character over and in relation 
 to railway companies. In addition to these, the Traffic 
 Act of 1888 (a) conferred upon them certain powers of a 
 quasi- judicial character. 
 
 (1.) We have seen (b) that under that Act the Board of 
 Trade were entrusted with the duty of making and sub- 
 mitting to Parliament a classification of traffic and schedule 
 of rates of each railway company. 
 
 (2.) The Board of Trade are given power to hear appli- 
 cations on the part of any person or railway company for 
 the addition to the classification of traffic of any articles, 
 and to determine the same as they may think right (c). 
 
 (3.) The Board of Trade are given power to prescribe 
 the form in which a railway company, desirous of making 
 any increase in their tolls, rates, or charges published in 
 their rate-books, are to give the fourteen days' notice to 
 the public required of their intention to do so (d) . 
 
 (4.) The same Act has attempted to give to the Board 
 of Trade a conciliatory jurisdiction, under which any 
 trader can make complaint to the Board of Trade of any 
 
 () 51 & 02 Viet. c. 25.

 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 
 consider such explanations and communications as may be 
 made in reference to the complaint ; and the Board of 
 Trade may pay to such last-mentioned person such remu- 
 neration as they may think fit, and as may be approved 
 by the Treasury." 
 
 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 
 
CARRIAGE OF MERCHANDISE BY RAILWAY. 
 
 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 
 Trallic Act of !<So4, however, above mentioned, materially 
 altered the law in this respect ; and railway companies are 
 now bound to provide facilities for carrying animals or

 particular classes of goods, with the exception, possibly, of 
 specially dangerous goods (c). And the duty thus im- 
 posed upon railway companies is inconsistent with their 
 right to refuse to carry any particular class of goods or 
 animals which they have facilities for carrying, and is 
 inconsistent with their right to refuse to carry such goods 
 or animals except upon terms which are unreasonable (/) . 
 And this obligation is not merely confined to traffic on the 
 main line, for under the above section it is no longer 
 competent for a railway company which has undertaken a 
 particular description of traffic to deny the jurisdiction of 
 the Eailway and Canal Commission Court to take into 
 consideration the legality of its conduct in respect of that 
 kind of traffic upon some particular branch of its line (y) . 
 
 And in giving judgment on the merits in the case last 
 referred to, Wills, J., said: "Up to that time (the Act 
 of 1854), as was pointed out by the Court of Appeal in 
 Dic/ison v. G. N. Ry. Co. (/*), the obligations of railway 
 companies were simply those of common carriers. Inas- 
 much as no common carrier was bound to carry any 
 particular class of traffic, a common carrier, being a 
 railway company, was equally with other common carriers 
 entitled to say : ' I am not a common carrier of passengers, 
 I am not a common carrier of coal, I am not a common 
 carrier of this, or that, or the other, and therefore you 
 must not expect me to carry it.' Then came the Act of 
 1854, which, as the Court of Appeal in that case laid 
 down, made a radical alteration in the obligations of a 
 railway company ; and it compelled them, whether they 
 liked it or not and, it seems to me, whether it were 
 profitable or not, to give reasonable facilities according to 
 
 (e] Bail-ways Clauses Act, 1845 (8 Yict. c. 20), s. 105.

 their power for receiving, despatching, and dealing with 
 traffic. . . . Now the Act of Parliament, as it seems to 
 me, says nothing ahout whether a particular species of 
 traffic is profitable or not, I quite agree that the extent to 
 which it is a profitable or a losing traffic cannot be 
 entirely excluded, because if there is no substantial traffic 
 to be accommodated no one can say that any special 
 facilities for supplying the necessities of a non-existent 
 traffic are called for. But it seems to me that the moment 
 you establish that there is a serious, substantial, and 
 considerable traffic to be dealt with upon that line, and 
 seeking to go along that line, you bring the case within the 
 Act of Parliament, and reasonable facilities must be 
 afforded. But, of course, on the question of what are 
 reasonable facilities, these matters might fairly be taken 
 into account." 
 
 Excuses in- The obligation is to afford due and reasonable facilities, 
 and, if reasonable, tjie obligation to afford them is not 
 limited by the convenience of the company (e), nor owing 
 to disputes between different railway companies inter se(k), 
 nor, within limits as to what is reasonable, by considera- 
 tions as to whether the facilities, when afforded, will 
 remunerate the company (/) . Nor will a company be 
 allowed to escape from these obligations because, by their 
 own carelessness, or by a misuse of the powers conferred 
 on them by their special Acts, they have rendered the 
 performance of those obligations more difficult (m).

 Similarly, the obligation to afford facilities is not depen- 
 dent upon mutual arrangements between different com- 
 panies (), and, where continuous communication exists 
 by railway belonging to two or more companies, it is 
 reasonable that such companies should afford one another 
 facilities for transferring traffic at the points of junction (o). 
 And special power is given to the Eailway and Canal 
 Commission to make orders for facilities, notwithstanding 
 any agreements between companies that have not been 
 confirmed by the Board of Trade or the Eailway and 
 Canal Commission (p). 
 
 In a proper case the Court will make an order on a Structural 
 railway company to afford due and reasonable facilities, 
 though such facilities may involve structural alteration^), 
 although it has no power to order a particular alteration (r) ; 
 and, if necessary, can make an order on two or more com- 
 panies, who may be ordered to make mutual arrangements 
 to carry into effect any orders of the Commission Court, 
 and to submit a scheme for carrying the same into effect (s) ; 
 and such an order has recently been made (t) . 
 
 In considering what is a reasonable amount of accom- Limitation to 
 modation, however, regard must be had to the general tra c '

 traffic of the company (u), for the Traffic Acts do not 
 require a railway company to find accommodation further 
 than it is the interest of railway traffic that it should 
 he found (ic) ; and sect. 2 of the Traffic Act of 1854 is to 
 be limited to the conveyance and transport of traffic, and 
 to acts done hy the company in their capacity of railway 
 or canal carriers. Thus the facilities required hy this sec- 
 tion must be in the receiving, forwarding, or delivering of 
 traffic, and not in connection with some distinct business, 
 such as that of dock-owners, carried on by them(.r). 
 Necessary Thus the construction of all works necessary for the 
 
 accommodation of traffic, and the safety of passengers, is 
 a reasonable facility to be afforded by railway com- 
 panies (y) ; but they will not be ordered to construct works 
 or to take land though offered them gratis (z) or to do 
 other matters which will require them first to obtain 
 powers from Parliament for the purpose (a). 
 
 Inconvenience And, further, the public inconvenience, sought to be 
 proportion to remedied by the facilities asked for, must bear some pro- 
 expense, portion to the inconvenience or expense which would be 
 caused to the railway company in complying with an order 
 to grant the facilities. And so the Commission Court 
 refused to order a railway company to convert a station, 
 at a sea-port, which had always been used as a passenger 
 station, into a goods station to accommodate the traffic of 
 two boats only, seeing that there was already a goods 
 station in the same town a short distance off, and there

 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). 
 
 The obligation to afford all reasonable facilities for traffic "According 
 is imposed on all railway companies " according to their powers'."

 possess, under their special Acts, larger powers than others,

 so the facilities they are required to afford are extended or 
 limited (/). 
 
 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).

 a railway company to have access to it, and the company 
 have at that place no reserve line of their own, it is only a 
 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

 railway would have been interfered with (//) ; but intimated 
 that in a case where a private siding was already in exist- 
 ence, but the railway company refused to allow the trader 
 to continue to use it, though they allowed the trader's 
 rivals in trade to use similar private sidings, the Court 
 would be prepared to issue an injunction against the 
 railway company on the ground of undue preference (z) . 
 
 An important extension of the jurisdiction of the Jurisdiction 
 Eailway and Canal Commission, in respect of sidings, has 
 been made by sect. 9 of the Act of 1888, which gives the 
 Court jurisdiction to entertain a complaint of the contra- 
 vention of an enactment in any Act containing provisions 
 relating to private branch railways or private sidings (a). 
 
 The following provisions in general Acts refer to private 
 branch railways and sidings : 
 
 Sects. 18 and 19 of the Eegulations of Bail ways Act, 
 1840 (6), confer on the Board of Trade power to determine 
 disputes as to the proper places for openings in the ledges 
 or flanches of a railway. 
 
 Sect. 12 of the Eailway Eegulation Act of 1842 (c) 
 gives power to the Board of Trade to direct that such 
 openings in any passenger railway (d) shall be made 
 subject to such conditions as they shall direct. 
 
 Sect. 76 of the Eailways Clauses Act of 1845, after Sidings under 
 providing that nothing in that Act or the special Act of 
 the railway company is to prevent the owners or occupiers 
 of land adjoining the railway from laying down collateral

 branches of railway to communicate with the railway, 
 proceeds, "And the company shall, if required, at the 
 expense of such owners or occupiers and other persons, 
 and subject also to the provisions of the said last-men- 
 tioned Act (e), make openings in the rails, and such addi- 
 tional lines of rail, as may be necessary for effecting such 
 communication in places where the communication can be 
 made with safety to the public, and without injury to the 
 railway, and without inconvenience to the traffic thereon ; 
 and the company shall not take any rate, or toll, or other 
 moneys for the passing of any passengers, goods, or other 
 things along any branch so to be made by any such owner, 
 or occupier, or other person ; but this enactment shall be 
 subject to the following restrictions and conditions : (that 
 is to say), 
 
 " No such branch railway shall run parallel to the rail- 
 way : 
 
 " The company shall not be bound to make any such 
 openings in any place which they shall have set apart 
 for any specific purpose with which such communica- 
 tion would interfere, nor on any inclined plane or 
 bridge, or in any tunnel : 
 
 " The persons making or using such branch railways 
 shall be subject to all byelaws and regulations of the 
 company from time to time made with respect to 
 passing upon or crossing the railway, and otherwise ; 
 and the persons making or using such branch rail- 
 ways shall be bound to construct, and from time to 
 time as need may require to renew, the offset plates 
 and switches according to the most approved plan 
 adopted by the company and under the direction of 
 their engineer." 
 
 This section, then, can now be administered by the 
 Railway and Canal Commission. 
 
 It has been held under this section that when once an 
 
 (e} I.e., to sect. 12 of the Act of 1842, see above. 
 
DUE AND REASONABLE FACILITIES. 27 
 
 opening has been made, and communication established 
 with the assent of the railway company, they cannot 
 afterwards revoke their consent (./'), and clauses similar to 
 this contained in special Acts have been held to enure for 
 the benefit of the occupiers from time to time, not being 
 confined to the occupiers at the time of passing the special 
 Act (</) . 
 
 And so it seems that when an opening for a siding has 
 been once made under this section, it becomes a permanent 
 right, and cannot be taken away because circumstances 
 have altered, and the railway company are disposed to do 
 something else with their line (h). But where the siding 
 is only formed by virtue of some private agreement 
 between the siding owner and the railway company, with- 
 out resort to this section, terminable by either party, the 
 case is otherwise (/). 
 
 Since the constitution of the present Eailway and Canal 
 Commission, the aid of this section has been invoked by a 
 trader who desired to have a private siding connected with 
 a railway company's line, but objected to entering into 
 the usual agreement with the company, on the ground 
 that its terms were too stringent. The agreement was in 
 the usual form adopted by the company, and the company 
 contended that it was so well known, and had been so 
 carefully considered, that it might almost amount to a 
 bye-law of the company. Wills, J., said he considered 
 both parties had put their case too high, and adjourned 
 the case in order that an arrangement might be come to (/>;) .

 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

 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) .

 (y) It will be seen that this is not the only question in which 
 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

 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

THE EQUALITY CLAUSE AND UNDUE PREFERENCE. 35 
 
 company under sect. 87 of the Eailways Clauses Act, 
 1845 (*). 
 
 Undue Preference. 
 
 The Bail way and Canal Traffic Act of 1854 provides 
 that no railway company shall make or give any undue or 
 unreasonable 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 
 such company subject any particular person or company, 
 or any particular description of traffic, to any undue or 
 unreasonable prejudice or disadvantage in any respect 
 whatsoever (/) . 
 
 But though this statutory duty is thus thrown on the How 
 railway companies, the only place it can be enforced in is 
 the Court of the Eailway and Canal Commission. The 
 power to enforce this enactment was originally vested 
 (by the same Act) in the Court of Common Pleas, after- 
 wards by the Eegulation of Eailways Act, 1873 (36 & 37 
 Viet. c. 46), sect. 6, transferred to the Eailway Commis- 
 sion, and finally by the Traffic Act of 1888, sect. 8, to the 
 present Eailway and Canal Commission. 
 
 Undue or unreasonable charges which prejudice a par- High Court 
 ticular trader by preferring others to him, cannot be tion 
 recovered by an action in the High Court (m) . And in an 
 action in the High Court by which a railway company 
 seeks to recover charges for the carriage of goods, the fact 
 that the defendant is subjected by the railway company to 
 unreasonable charges amounting to an undue preference 
 is no defence to the action ; nor can the defendant in such

 an action set off, or recover by counter-claim, over-pay- 
 ments in respect of previous charges which were unreason- 
 able in the same sense (c), even though payments have 
 been made under protest, and a decision of the Railway 
 Commissioners has been obtained declaring the charges 
 unreasonable (d). 
 
 The powers of the Railway and Canal Commission in 
 matters of undue preference have been considerably affected 
 by the Act of 1888. In the first place, by sect. 9 of that 
 Act, when any enactment in a special Act contains pro- 
 visions relating to undue preference, the Commission have 
 now the like jurisdiction to hear and determine a com- 
 plaint of a contravention of the enactment as they have 
 with regard to a case under the general Act (e). 
 
 Then they have also power to award damages " in com- 
 plete satisf acton of any claim, including repayment of 
 over-charges " (/). But to entitle a party to damages the 
 complaint must be made within one year from the dis- 
 covery by him of the matter complained of ; and damages 
 for undue preference are not to be given if the rates 
 complained of have been duly published by the company 
 in their station rate books, unless and until the party 
 complaining shall have given written notice to the railway 
 company requiring them to abstain from or remedy the 
 matter of complaint, and the company have failed within 
 a reasonable time to comply therewith (g) . 
 
 Further, sect. 27 of the same Act (//) provides : 
 " (1) Whenever it is shown that any railway company 
 charge one trader, or class of traders, or the traders in any 
 district, lower tolls, rates, or charges for the same or

 similar merchandise, or lower tolls, rates, or charges for 
 the same or similar services, than they charge to other 
 traders, or classes of traders, or to the traders in another 
 district, or make any difference in treatment in respect of 
 any such trader or traders, the hurden of proving that 
 such lower charge or difference in treatment does not 
 amount to an undue preference shall lie on the railway 
 company. 
 
 " (2) In deciding whether a lower charge or difference Questions to 
 in treatment does or does not amount to an undue pre- 
 ference, the Court having jurisdiction in the matter, or 
 the Commissioners, as the case may he, may, so far as they 
 think reasonable, in addition to any other considerations 
 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 
 
38 CARRIAGE OF MERCHANDISE BY RAILWAY. 
 
 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.

 the old lijiihvuy Commissioners, the question of the interest

 of the public was raised and considered ; the complaint was 
 that the railway company, after having removed their coal 
 depot from Oldham Station to a station further away from, 
 ^Manchester at Miles Plating, still continued to carry coal 
 for the Corporation of Manchester to Oldham Station for 
 use in the gasworks, but refused to do so for the applicants 
 and other traders. The Commissioners held that the rail- 
 way company had, under the circumstances, reasonable 
 grounds for separating their coal and general goods traffic, 
 and that the exception in favour of the corporation, being 
 made in the interests of the public, who were benefited by 
 having the coal supplied for lighting Manchester carried 
 to a station near the gasworks, constituted no undue pre- 
 ference in their favour, by which the applicant or other 
 coal dealers would be prejudiced (a). 
 
 And in another case where, for a fixed charge, a railway 
 company undertook all services incidental to the transit 
 of traffic coining from abroad, including Custom House 
 agency, and allowed their servants to do the clearing at 
 the Custom House, though the Custom House agents 
 were thereby deprived of earning a commission in respect 
 of the goods so carried, the Commissioners considered that 
 the arrangement was made in the public interest, and 
 refused to interfere (o) .

 Group rates. g e ct. 29 of the same Act has an important bearing on 
 questions of undue preference, and somewhat enlarged the 
 powers of railway companies, as it permits railway com- 
 panies to charge group rates. It provides : 
 
 Sub-sect. (1.) " Notwithstanding any provision in any 
 general or special Act, it shall be lawful for any railway 
 company, for the purpose of fixing the rates to be charged 
 for the carriage of merchandise to and from any place on 
 their railway, to group together any number of places in 
 the same district, situated at various distances from any 
 point of destination or departure of merchandise, and to 
 charge a uniform rate or uniform rates of carriage for 
 merchandise to and from all places comprised in the group 
 from and to any point of destination or departure." 
 
 Sub-sect. (2.) " Provided that the distances shall not be 
 unreasonable, and that the group rates charged and the 
 places grouped together shall not be such as to create an 
 undue preference." 
 
 Sub-sect. (3.) " Where any group rate exists or is pro- 
 posed, and in any case where there is a doubt whether any 
 rates charged or proposed to be charged by a railway com- 
 pany may not be a contravention of section two of the 
 Railway and Canal Traffic Act, 1854, and any Acts 
 amending the same, the railway company may, upon 
 giving notice in the prescribed manner, apply to the Com- 
 missioners, and the Commissioners may, after hearing the 
 parties interested and any of the authorities mentioned in 
 section seven of this Act, determine whether such group 
 rate or any rate charged or proposed to be charged as 
 aforesaid does or does not create an undue preference. 
 Any persons aggrieved, and any of the authorities men- 
 tioned in section seven of this Act, may, at any time after 
 the making of any order under this section, apply to the 
 Commissioners to vary or rescind the order, and the Com- 
 missioners, after hearing all parties who are interested, 
 may make an order accordingly." 
 
 The effect of this section is practically to extend the 
 
THE EQUALITY CLAUSE AND UNDUE PREFERENCE 41 
 
 discretion of railway companies, and to some extent to Effect of 
 limit the enactments against undue preference in cases 8l 
 where the section is applicable. If the rates could be 
 justified on the ground that they did not create an undue 
 preference without grouping, this section would be in- 
 operative ; and so where there is a group rate which is 
 justified on the commercial grounds of convenience, the 
 measure of undue preference must be different from that 
 where no such rate exists ; and whenever there is a group- 
 ing which can be justified on the general ground of con- 
 venience, a more liberal allowance must be made to the 
 companies in dealing with rates than would be permitted 
 except for the grouping (p). 
 
 But still, if it be shown that a number of places are 
 grouped together with respect to goods coming in one 
 direction only, while there is no group rate applicable to 
 goods coming in the opposite direction, so that the trader, 
 situate at the farthest point of the places grouped together, 
 who benefits most by the group rate, also benefits most 
 from the rates on traffic coming or going in the opposite 
 direction, and in fact the advantages are all in one direc- 
 tion, that will tend to show that the grouping between the 
 extreme places is excessive, and to induce the Court to 
 confine the section within moderate limits (p). Prior to 
 the passing of the Act of 1888, however, it had been 
 decided that a system of grouping was carried too far 
 where the same rate was charged to all the collieries work- 
 ing the same bed of coal, where the coal field extended for 
 twenty miles and covered an area in which the pits might 
 be that distance apart (q) . 
 
 In a recent case the grouping of two places, A. and B., 
 one of which was situate 11 miles nearer to the usual 
 market than the other, was held reasonable, it appearing

 that the distance of both A. and B. from the market was 
 about equal by a competitive line of railway (r). 
 
 The section itself, however, shows that the ultimate test 
 to be applied in order to ascertain whether the group rate 
 is allowable or not, is whether it does in fact constitute an 
 unreasonable preference of certain persons over others. 
 
 It is proposed, therefore, to trace shortly the grounds on 
 which a preference has been held undue, and those on 
 which it has been held to be justified. 
 
 In the first place, then, the undue preference to call for 
 ference. the interference of the Eailway and Canal Commission 
 
 must arise in the " receiving, forwarding, or delivery of 
 traffic," and must also be done by the delinquent company 
 in their capacity of a railway or canal company (s). So 
 where a railway company owned docks, the Commission 
 were held to have no jurisdiction to entertain a complaint 
 that the company were charging preferential dock dues (t) . 
 
 And so where a railway company were proprietors of 
 the Grrimsby Old Dock and the Grimsby New Dock, and 
 were authorized and required to maintain the old dock 
 and the approach thereto of a given depth, but neglected 
 to do so, and the dock got silted up so that vessels could 
 not get to the wharves, and it was suggested that the 
 object of the company was to discourage traffic to the old 
 dock and divert it to the new one, it was held that the 
 failure by the railway company to perform their duty was 
 not subject for redress under the Traffic Act of 1854 (ti).

 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 
 distances, where the larger gross rate yields also the larger pat^sMfts 
 profits, it is not necessary that these should be proportional nus of proof. 
 what is a due increase must depend in each case on the 
 particular circumstances and if the railway company can

 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 
 by persons using the same railway ( p) And so an agree-

 is unfair, even though the agreement be offered to all traders 
 alike, for what may be fair for one trader may be unreason- 
 able in regard to another (s). 
 
 And so a railway company will not be allowed to give a 
 preference to a trader in order to secure traffic which they 
 otherwise would lose ; as where a railway company, in 
 order to secure the traffic of a trader which would other- 
 wise travel by another line, perform services, such as 
 cartage, gratuitously (^), or allow him a rebate not allowed 
 to others, they are guilty of an undue preference (it). 
 
 Everyone has a right to the natural advantages which 
 have been acquired by the proximity of his land to a rail- 
 way, and a railway company is not justified in depriving 
 him of it, by allowing to another not so favourably situate 
 the expense which he may have incurred in connecting his 
 place with the railway, in the reduced charge at which the 
 company carry his goods on their railway (r). 
 
 At the same time, where a railway company are charged 
 with showing an undue preference to one trader as com- 
 pared with another situate at another place on the line, the 
 Commission Court are entitled to take into consideration 
 the commercial necessity of competition with a rival line 
 of railway to which the railway company are subject. 
 This was decided in the recent case of Pickcriny PJtipp* v. 
 L. fy N. W. Ity. Co. (ic) 9 where Lord Herschell, in giving 
 judgment in the Court of Appeal, referring to the conten-

 of competing routes should not equally be taken into ac- 
 count, or that proximity to the market was the only matter 
 to be considered between two traders. If the existence of 
 the competing route was to be excluded altogether, the 
 result would be to deprive the trader who had the advan- 
 tage of the competition of some of the advantages of his 
 position. 
 
 As a railway company may not prefer one trader to Preference of 
 another, so they are not allowed to prefer themselves or 
 their own traffic, when acting as carriers off their line, to 
 any other trader or carrier. In one case (a?), the company, 
 who had carried goods at 3s. 6d. a ton while the carrier 
 had charged 4s. Wd. for delivery, raised the price for 
 carriage to 8s. 4d., and offered to collect and deliver 
 gratis; and this was considered an undue preference by 
 the company of themselves. And in another (y), a rail- 
 way company, who had receiving houses in various parts 
 of London shut their gates and refused to admit the vans 
 of other carriers after 6.30 p.m., while the company's own 
 vans were admitted up to a much later hour, and the goods 
 forwarded by the night trains ; and this was an undue 
 preference of themselves ; as was also a case where a com- 
 pany who had been in the habit of delivering goods at an 
 inclusive rate, allowing a rebate to such persons as fetched 
 the goods from the station themselves, suddenly put a stop 
 to these rebates, with a view of excluding other carriers 
 from competing with them in delivering goods (z) .

 Preference of Neither may a railway company make a preference in 
 favour of their own agents, or of any particular carrier, 
 even though the preference has been made in consequence 
 of arrangements with another company (b) . So a railway 
 company may not make a higher charge when goods are 
 delivered by one carrier than they do when they are 
 delivered by others (c). And if they accept parcels for 
 conveyance to a place beyond the terminus of their rail- 
 way addressed " per Ford & Co.," or addressed to a par- 
 ticular carrier at their terminus, they must not disregard 
 such address, and if they deliver the goods to the ultimate 
 consignee by their agent or by another carrier, it amounts 
 to an undue preference of their agent, or of the other 
 carrier (d). 
 
 And if a railway company refuse to receive goods from 
 the public after 5.15 p.m., but receive them from their 
 
 Cost of agent up to 8 p.m., such conduct is an undue preference of 
 
 their agent (e). And if they allow a rebate or fee to one 
 carrier they must do so equally to all (/) . But if the 
 rebate or fee be allowed equally to all, to the company's 
 agents as well as independent carriers, there is no case of 
 undue preference, and the Court will not go into the 
 question of cost of collection and delivery (</) ; but if the

 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 
 goods by, and give a preference to the one they may think 
 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

 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*).

 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-

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) .

 And where a rebate is allowed by the railway company 
 off the gross cartage rate in respect of cartage not 
 ' performed by the company, it must not be less than 
 the cost of cartage (k) ; but the Court will not go into 
 the cost of cartage unless a preference be shown to 
 exist (/). 
 
 The fixing an arbitrary limit to a rate either in weight 
 or size of packages may, when it operates prejudi- 
 cially to a certain class of traders, become an undue 
 preference (m). 
 
 Where a company possesses two or more alternative 
 routes between two points, it is an undue preference 
 to prefer one to the other by unduly reducing the 
 rates by the one they prefer, as compared with those 
 by the other or others (n).

 by the different routes (o). 
 
 by subjecting the traffic on any routes it does not

 But if the company are carrying traffic by the most 
 convenient of two routes, and a change of route would 
 have no effect on the rate, they will not be compelled 
 to carry by an alternative, and less convenient route (q) .

CHAPTER V. 
 
 THROUGH RATES AND THROUGH ROUTES. 
 
 THE third part of the 2nd section of the Traffic Act of 
 1854 provides : " And every railway company and canal 
 company and railway and canal company having or 
 working railways or canals which form part of a continuous 
 line of railway or canal or railway and canal communica- 
 tion, or which have the terminus, station, or wharf of the 
 one near (a) 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 unreasonable 
 delay, and without any such preference or advantage, 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 con- 
 tinuous line of communication, and so that all reasonable 
 accommodation may, by means of the railways and canals 
 of the several companies, be at all times afforded to the 
 public in that behalf." 
 
 The Act of 1873, by a section (b) now repealed, gave the 
 Railway Commissioners power to sanction a through rate 
 upon the application of any railway company party to the 
 same. This power has now been extended and the power 
 of proposing a through rate or through route has now 
 been conferred on any person interested in the traffic in 
 respect of which it is proposed as well as on the railway 
 companies. Sect. 25 of the Act of 1888, after reciting 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. 
 
 D. F

 " (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 (<?).

G8 CARRIAGE OF MERCHANDISE BY RAILWAY. 
 
 Railway Perhaps the strongest case in favour of a through rate is 
 made when the company which has collected the traffic 
 applies for it, that is to say, the receiving company (/). 
 The terminal or delivering company may of course also 
 apply, but companies whose lines are situate at the end of 
 the proposed route are not the only companies who may 
 apply, but a company owning an intermediate portion of 
 the route may also apply for through rates (g) . 
 
 Moreover, a railway company whose line is worked by 
 another company, though it possess no rolling stock of its 
 own, may also apply (h) ; and the fact that a company's 
 interest in obtaining the through rate is comparatively 
 small, is no impediment to its proposing a through rate (/) . 
 Where, however, a railway company has altogether given 
 over to another company the power of fixing its own rates, 
 it will not be allowed to propose a through rate itself (/), 
 until the company to whom it has given the power of 
 fixing its rates has refused or neglected to propose a 
 through rate (/). 
 
 Where a railway company desire to propose a through 
 rate, it may do so by giving a written notice to each for- 
 warding company specifying the rate proposed, the route 
 to be adopted, and the manner in which it is proposed 
 that the rate should be apportioned between the various 
 forwarding companies, and it would also be well to

 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 
 
 (</) Act of 1888 (51 & 52 Viet. c. 25), s. 25, sub-s. 4.

 through rate, than the maximum rate such company is 
 entitled to charge " (r) ; but they cannot 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, being the points of departure and arrival of 
 the through route (s) . This alternate line of communi- 
 cation may be an independent one (t) ; but the mileage 
 rates by it which are made the criterion of the rates the 
 company can be compelled to accept must be mileage rates 
 for a line having the same termini as the through route, 
 and must be charged in respect of traffic travelling over 
 it for its whole length, the words "between the same 
 points " referring as much to the traffic carried as to the 
 line of communication (K) . 
 
 There is no prima facie case for specially low charges, Onus on 
 but the onus is upon the applicant for compulsory rates to a PP llcant - 
 justify a requirement that a company affected should carry 
 for less than it would otherwise receive (r). 
 
 In a case under the Act of 1873, however, where a Competitive 
 through rate had been reduced by competition, the Com- rate> 
 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

 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

 mileage of any one company is within them (~). And if 
 no station exists at the point of junction of two lines where 
 traffic can be transferred, the company may carry the 
 traffic to the nearest station for the purpose of transfer- 
 ence, and add the double distance thus run over to its 
 mileage (a) . 
 
 Whether the allowance for terminals is to be the same 
 as that charged to the public, or whether some allowance 
 is to be made when no terminals are charged to the public, 
 would seem to depend on the circumstances of the case (b). 
 Special cir- Where special circumstances exist to induce the Court 
 
 to give a railway company a larger proportion out of the 
 through rate than it would take under the above general 
 rule, the Court may either apportion to the company a 
 fixed amount out of the gross rate (c) , or allow it to add 
 some number of miles to its actual mileage (d). 
 
 (iv.) Traffic by Sea. 
 
 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

 In order to constitute an arrangement for using, main- The " ar-

 ment of some sort which is binding on both the steamship 
 owners and the railway or canal company (#), and it must 
 be definite ; and if so loosely drawn that it is uncertain 
 whether it be binding or not, the agreement will give no 
 rights under this section (//). If, however, there be a sub- 
 stantial agreement, it is not material that one of the 
 parties to it is disputing its terms (i). Moreover, the 
 agreement may be a temporary one, but in that case the 
 through rates can only be granted so as to be in force 
 during the continuance of the agreement (k) . An arrange- 
 ment for the through booking of traffic, however, is not an 
 agreement under which the railway company can be said 
 to " use " the steam vessels (/).

 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

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

 with tlio business of a railway company, they will be 
 allowed to make a reasonable charge for them (/). 
 
 Thus, where a railway company possessing a weighing 
 machine at one of their stations had put up a notice that 
 Id. per ton would be charged to the public for the use of 
 the weighing machine, they were held entitled to recover 
 that amount on the ground that the defendants, having 
 weighed their goods on the machine after knowing of the 
 notice, must be taken to have agreed to make the payment 
 mentioned therein (w). 
 
 But this right to make charges not expressly authorized Right to 
 by statute or the company's Acts in respect of special founded en 
 
 services is entirely founded on agreement either express or 
 implied. And so where a company claimed to have per- 
 formed special services for a trader, but had made no 
 agreement with him regarding them, and given him no 
 notice that the special service would be charged for, so as 
 to allow the trader the option of performing the services 
 himself, the railway company having charged the trader 
 more than they were authorized to do, were not allowed to 
 set off these charges for special services in an action by the 
 trader to recover the excessive charges paid by him () . 
 
 When a Government duty is payable by a railway Statutory 
 company on the sums charged by it, the company may 
 add the amount of such duty to its authorized charge (o) ; 
 but where a statutory obligation is imposed upon a com- 
 pany to do certain acts, such as cleansing and disinfecting 
 cattle trucks, the performance of the obligation is not a 
 service rendered to an individual for which they can make 
 a charge (p). Such a charge, however, is in this particular 
 case now expressly authorised (p. 208).

 Tolls and Ifc may be well to mention here that sects. 93 to 95 of 
 
 the Kailways Clauses Act, 1845, requiring all tolls to be 
 exhibited on a board, and milestones to be set up along the 
 railway, and allowing the company only to charge tolls 
 whilst the tolls are exhibited and the milestones set up, 
 apply only to tolls for the use of the railway where the 
 railway company do not act as carriers. So that the 
 omission to set up a milestone will not prevent the railway 
 company recovering fares and charges made as carriers 
 which are not tolls within the meaning of these sections (q) . 
 
 Rate Books and the Division of Rates. 
 
 The most important provisions with regard to rate 
 books and the division of rates by railway companies, are 
 sect. 14 of the Act of 1873 (>), which is still in force, and 
 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. 
 
 Sect. 14 of the Act of 1873 may conveniently be divi- 36 & 37 Viet. 
 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 
 
 , , , ,, , , of rate books. 
 
 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

 Traders v. Waterford & Limerick By. Co., 4 B. & Mac. 92. 
 
6 CARRIAGE OF MERCHANDISE BY RAILWAY. 
 
 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

 will be granted ordering the railway company to do so (c) . 
 
 The second part of the section (d) provides that " the ( b ) Division 
 
 ,. ;. ,! f jj of rate. 
 
 Commissioners may from time to time, on the application 
 of any person interested, make orders with respect to any 
 particular description of traffic, requiring a railway com- 
 pany or canal company to distinguish in such book (<?), 
 how much of each rate is for the conveyance of traffic on 
 the railway or canal, including therein tolls for the use of 
 the railway or canal, for the use of carriages or vessels, or 
 for locomotive power, and how much is for other expenses, 
 specifying the nature and detail of such other expenses." 
 
 The first thing requiring notice in this part of the section 
 is that while the right to see the rate books under the first 
 part of the section is given to every member of the public, 
 under the second part the right to have the rate divided is 
 only given to any person interested. And so, on an appli- 
 cation to the Railway and Canal Commission to have the 
 rates in a rate book divided under this section, the appli- 
 cant must file an affidavit showing how he is interested (/). 
 
 What, then, is it necessary for an applicant to prove so 
 as to bring himself within the words " any person inte- 
 rested " ? The person who pays the rate is not the only 
 person interested, but any person who makes out by proper 
 evidence that the rates which he seeks to have dissected

 are really and substantially competitive rates with his own 
 is a person interested within the meaning of this sec- 
 tion (g). And this is not the only ground on which 
 interest may be established; for a lady who possessed 
 a private station connected with the London & North 
 Western Railway, and who received a sum by way of 
 terminal in respect of certain goods there dealt with, was 
 considered to be interested in the division of the rates of 
 traffic to her private station (//) . 
 
 A view somewhat larger was taken by Sir F. Peel in 
 the Pekall Coal Co. v. L. 8f N. W. Ey. Co. (i), who con- 
 sidered that the expression " interested " meant " however 
 interested," and comprehended all persons who have a 
 bond fide interest in knowing how the particular rates are 
 made up. The learned Commissioner put the case of 
 persons about to enter upon some business on premises 
 adjoining a station, and seeking to know all about the 
 rates on their particular description of traffic, and who 
 have made and been refused a demand for such informa- 
 tion ; and he considered such persons would be interested, 
 and have locus stand i under this section, although at the 
 time they had had no transactions with the railway com- 
 pany. 
 
 It would seem, then, that the interest must be a com- 
 mercial interest, and not merely arising out of curiosity, 
 but that if the interest be bond fide and materially affect 
 the applicant, it may take various forms. 
 
 Purpose for But something more than mere interest must be estab- 
 
 Satioa Hshed. In Tomlinson v. L. Sf N. Ey. Co. (k), Wills, J.,

 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- 
 penses"; but that, as regards the "other expenses," the rail- 
 way company must state what they are and how much is 
 charged in respect of each service or class of services (/). 
 
 It seems that the more fact that the total rate charged Rate within 
 to a trader is within the statutory mileage maximum will veaTcc f . r 
 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.

 How far such a compliance with the letter of the enact-

 An order for the dissection of rates will only he made 
 in respect of rates actually charged hy the railway company 
 at the time of making the application (x). On the other 
 hand, if the rate he in existence at the time of making the 
 application, the fact that it is subsequently withdrawn will 
 not prevent an order to dissect the rate "being made (y) . 
 
 By sect. 28 of the Traffic Act of 1888, the provisions of 
 sect. 14 of the Act of 1873, ahove considered, have been 
 extended to traffic hy sea in any vessels belonging to, 
 chartered, or worked by a railway company, or in which 
 the railway company procures merchandise to be carried. 
 
 The powers of the trader to ascertain the rates charged 
 by railway companies have been somewhat extended by 
 sect. 33 of the Act of 1888, above referred to, but, as will 
 be seen, the provisions of this section relating to the divi- 
 sion of rates are much more restricted than those under 
 sect. 14 of the Act of 1873. 
 
 Sect. 33, sub-s. (1). "The book, tables, or other docu- 
 ment in use for the time being containing the general 
 classification of merchandise carried on the railway of any 
 company, shall, during all reasonable hours, be open to the 
 inspection of any person without the payment of any fee 
 at every station at which merchandise is received for con- 
 veyance, or where merchandise is received at some other 
 place than a station, then at the station nearest such place.

 charges of every railway company authorised, as provided 
 by this Act, shall be kept for sale by the railway company 
 at such places and at such reasonable price as the Board 
 of Trade may by any general or special order prescribe." 
 
 This classification of traffic will be found on p. 365, and 
 the maximum rates and charges applicable thereto for the 
 various railways affected will be found on pp. 217 to 364. 
 These rates and charges, from and after the confirming Acts 
 coming into operation (s), are to be the rates and charges 
 which the railway companies respectively are entitled to 
 charge and make (<?). 
 
 Any person, upon giving not less than twenty- one days' Amending

 notice to the railway company, may apply in the pre- 
 scribed manner to the Board of Trade to amend any 
 classification and schedule by adding thereto any articles,

 determine such application, and classify and deal with the 
 articles, matters, and things referred to therein in such 
 manner as the Board of Trade shall think right. These 
 determinations of the Board of Trade are to be published 
 in the Gazette, and to take effect as from the date of the 
 publication thereof (b). 
 
 This appears to be the only power of revising the classi- 
 fication possessed by any authority except Parliament, and 
 only allows additions to be made thereto.

 merchandise shall he divided, and the charge for convey-

 any), and if any terminal charge or dock charge is in- 
 cluded in such account, the nature and detail of the 
 terminal expenses or dock charges in respect of which it 
 is made shall be specified." 
 
 This sub-section enables a customer of the railway com- 
 pany, without the help of the Commissioners, to call upon 
 the railway company under certain circumstances to dissect 
 a rate for him ; but the application of the section is much 
 more confined than that of sect. 14 of the Act of 1873, and 
 does not appear to extend to anyone but persons interested 
 in having the goods to which the rates apply carried (c) ; 
 the person desiring the dissection of the rate need not 
 have paid the charge, but he must be a customer of the 
 railway company (<7). 
 
 Having regard to the words " (if any) " after "terminal 
 charges " and " dock charges," and to the case of Tomlin- 
 son v. L. fy N. W. lly. Co. (c), a railway company would 
 probably be held to have complied with the order by 
 dividing the rate in a similar manner to that adopted in 
 that case (/).

 company, which are kept by the railway company at any 
 port in the United Kingdom used by the vessels which 
 carry the sea traffic of the railway company, shall, besides 
 containing all the rates charged for the sea traffic, state 
 what proportion of any through rate is appropriated to 
 conveyance by sea, distinguishing such proportion from 
 that which is appropriated to the conveyance by land on 
 either side of the sea." 
 
 Sub-s. (6). " Where a railway company intend to make Increase 
 any increase in the tolls, rates, or charges published in the 1 
 books required to be kept by the company for public 
 inspection under sect. 14 of the Regulation of Railways 
 Act, 1873, or this Act, they shall give, by publication in 
 such manner as the Board of Trade may prescribe, at 
 least fourteen days' notice of such intended increase, stating 
 in such notice the date on which the altered rate. or charge 
 is to take effect ; and no such increase in the published 
 tolls, rates, or charges of the railway company shall have 
 effect unless and until the fourteen days' notice required 
 under this section has been given." 
 
 An order has been issued by the Board of Trade with 
 regard to a proposed increase in rates by a railway com- 
 pany (#), which provides that the proposed increase of 
 charge must, (i) if any traffic has been carried at that 
 rate for twelve months previous, be advertised in a local 
 newspaper ; and (ii) in any case notice must be posted up

 Sect. 34. " When traffic is received or delivered at any 
 place on any railway other than a station within the

 1873, the railway company on whose line such place is 
 shall keep at the station nearest such place a book or 
 books showing every rate for the time being charged for 
 the carriage of traffic, other than passengers and their 
 luggage, from such place to any place to which they book, 
 including any rates charged under any special contract, 
 and stating the distance from that place of every station, 
 wharf, siding, or place to which such rate is charged. 
 Every such book shall, during all reasonable hours, be 
 open to the inspection of any person without the payment 
 of a fee." 
 
 The Railway and Canal Commission have no power to 
 order the dissection of rates in books kept under this 
 section as they have in the case of books kept at stations 
 under sect. 14 of the Act of 1873 (//). 
 
 The old Railway Commissioners had decided, under 
 sect. 14 of the Act of 1873, that for the purposes of that 
 section a siding was to be considered either as a station or 
 as part of the nearest station, and that they had power to 
 order the dissection of rates charged therefrom (?'), but 
 this decision must now be taken to be overruled.

 A RAILWAY COMPANY'S LIEN FOR UNPAID RATES AND TOLLS. 
 
 UNDER the 97th section of the Hallways Clauses Act, Lien for tolls 
 
 1845 (<?), if, on demand, any person fail to pay the tolls 
 
 due in respect of any carriage or goods, the railway 
 
 company are given power to detain and sell such carriage 
 
 or goods, or if the same have been removed from their 
 
 premises to detain and sell any other carriages or goods on 
 
 the company's premises belonging to the party liable to 
 
 pay such tolls. The word tolls, however, in this section, 
 
 only applies to tolls strictly so called, i.e., to charges for 
 
 the use of the railway by persons conveying goods in 
 
 their own carriages, and does not apply where the company 
 
 act as carriers (b) . And under the first part of the section 
 
 a company cannot detain trucks for tolls due in respect of 
 
 coals carried in them (c). Further, before detention or 
 
 sale there must be a demand made for the tolls (d) .

 themselves the carriers on their lines, and therefore apart 
 from agreement they have only the common law lien of 
 a carrier to rely on for payment of their rates. 
 
 Common law At common law a carrier has a particular lien on goods 
 carried by him (c), even in the case of goods that have 
 been stolen (/) ; but he has no general lien for the 
 balance of his account (g). When detaining goods under 
 this common law lien, however, the carrier cannot charge 
 for warehousing (/*). And this lien does not allow the 
 carrier to sell the goods over which it extends, and if ho 
 sell the goods he waives his lien and is liable for their 
 value, and he cannot set off the amount of his lien (?'). At 
 the same time he must take every care of goods detained 
 by him, and he has no right to use them (/). 
 
 If a carrier once parts with the possession of the goods, 
 otherwise than by fraud, he loses his lien on them (7). 
 But if part of the freight be paid the carrier is bound to 
 deliver the part of the goods on which the freight has been 
 paid, and still keeps his lien on the whole of the remainder 
 of the goods for the unpaid balance of tho freight (;;?) . 
 
 And where goods consigned to an ultimate consignee 
 through an independent carrier have been carried by the 
 railway company to their destination, but have not been 
 paid for, and the company refuse the carrier a ledger 
 account, the railway company have no right to deliver tho 
 goods themselves to the ultimate consignee, and so obtain

 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

 RAILWAY COMPANIES AND THEIR LIABILITY AS COMMON 
 CARRIERS. 
 
 Liability of Common Carriers. 
 
 EAILWAY companies may be, but are not necessarily 
 common carriers and liable as such. Section 86 of the 
 Eailways Clauses Act of 1845 authorizes companies to 
 carry and convey on their railway all such passengers and 
 goods as shall be offered to them for that purpose. And 
 the 89th section of the same Act specially provides that 
 the liabilities of railway companies are not to exceed those 
 of common carriers, and that railway companies are to be 
 entitled to the same protection and privilege as common 
 carriers are entitled to. At the same time this section is 
 permissive, and, apart from the Eailway and Canal Traffic 
 Act of 1888, railway companies may relinquish the business 
 of carrying (a) if they desire, but if they carry for some 
 they must do so for all (b) . 
 
 The common law liability of railway companies as 
 carriers has been varied by statute by two enactments, 
 viz.: the Carriers Act of 1830 (c), and sect. 7 of the 
 Traffic Act of 1854 (d) 9 and these are each so important 
 as to require separate notice.

CARRIAGE OF MERCHA:N 7 DISE BY RAILWAY. 
 
 It will be well first to see what are the liabilities of 
 carriers at common law 
 
 There are two important liabilities of common carriers 
 at common law (1) they are liable as insurers of the 
 goods entrusted to their care ; (2) they are under the 
 obligation to carry. 
 
 (1) As insurers of the goods or animals committed to 
 them for carriage, railway companies are liable for every 
 loss happening to the goods or animals carried and not 
 occasioned by the act of God or the King's enemies (e) . 
 Thus, they are liable for loss by fire (/), or by the felony 
 of their servants (g), or by theft or the wrongful acts of 
 strangers, while they have a remedy against the wrong- 
 doer for the damages they may sustain by his wrongful 
 act(/<). 
 
 [nhercnt If ? however, in course of transit, injury happens to the 
 
 ?cr vice." goods or to an animal, owing to the inherent nature of the 
 goods themselves or of the animal, the carrier is not liable 
 as an insurer (i). This exception occurs, of course, much 
 more frequently in the case of animals, when the injury 
 has sometimes been said to have been caused by the 
 " proper vice " of the animal. But the deterioration of 
 perishable articles, and evaporation and leakage of liquids, 
 would seem to come under the same head as proper 
 vice (/). 
 
 And so where a railway company had contracted to

 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).

 Returned empties are, in the absence of an express Returned 
 contract to the contrary, earned by a carrier subject to the emp 1( 
 ordinary carrier's liability, even though no extra payment 
 be made in respect of them, the charges made on the 
 outward journey being presumed to cover the return 
 journey (it). 
 
 (2) The obligation to carry must not be unreasonable ; The ohliga- 
 and a common carrier may refuse to carry on reasonable 
 grounds, as that his coach is full (v), or that the goods 
 
 were brought at unreasonable times (#); but it seems that 
 an action would lie for an unreasonable refusal on the part 
 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 
 Traffic Act, 1854 (c).

 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 
 railway company may refuse to carry without it (c).

 of sale (/), or if the goods are merely being sent on ap- 
 proval (g) the consignor must sue. A bailee, however, 
 1 laving a special property in goods committed to him, and 
 who has entrusted the goods to a carrier, may sue (Ii) . 
 
 This question of the right to sue is of importance, for if 
 the railway company have paid compensation to the wrong 
 party, that is no defence to an action by the person en- 
 titled to the compensation (i) . So where a railway com- 
 pany had paid compensation to the consignor on a claim 
 made by him without notice that he was not the true 
 owner, it was held no answer to an action by the owner. 
 If there be no special contract as to the railway company's 
 liability the fact that one party may have nominated or 
 selected the particular carrier to whom the goods were 
 entrusted appears to be immaterial (k). 
 
 Prima facie, if a railway company receive goods for Through 
 conveyance to a place beyond the limits of their line, they 
 undertake the responsibility for the complete transit, and 
 are liable for loss or injury to the goods, though it take 
 place on the line of another company (/). But the com- 
 pany may stipulate that they will not be liable for loss or 
 damage to goods after they have been delivered to an- 
 other company (m), but in such a case delivery to another 
 company must be clearly proved if relied on by the 
 company (n).

 The vendor of goods who has handed them to a carrier, 
 so long as the purchase-money remains unpaid, has, upon 
 the insolvency of the purchaser, the right to stop the goods 
 in tmnsitu, or so long as they are in the possession of the 
 earner as such (p), or while they are being warehoused by 
 the carrier; provided there is nothing to show that the

 whether or not the goods have reached their ultimate

 purchaser have refused the goocis when proffered to him 
 for delivery (t). So, too, it is gone if the purchaser have 
 transferred his interest to a sub-purchaser for valuable 
 consideration (u) ; but if a genuine notice to stop has been 
 given by the vendor, the latter will be entitled to be paid

 out of any unpaid purchase-money in the hands of the 
 sub-purchaser (r). 
 
 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. ' 
 goods to the consignee, an action against the carrier for 
 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). 
 
 And an ordinary contract (and although not as common 
 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

 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). 
 
 The measure of damages in an action for conversion 
 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 (<?).

 Damages. 
 
 The measure of damages recoverable against a carrier Damages for 
 for the loss of goods is, as a rule, the market value of the ' 
 goods at the time and place where they ought to have been 
 delivered, and the fact that the consignee has sold them 
 for less than the market price is not material (r) . If the 
 market price cannot be ascertained, the measure of damages 
 will be the cost price, phis the cost of carriage, and a 
 reasonable importer's profit (*), or, if this fail, the price at 
 which they have been sold by the owner (t), or their value 
 to him (), or the price at which the best substitute for 
 them can be obtained (v). 
 
 But where a carrier contracts with a railway company Costs of 
 to carry goods, which are lost, the railway company are actlon - 
 not liable for the costs of an action brought by the owner 
 of the goods against the carrier to recover the goods, 
 and unreasonably defended by the carrier (w). If, how- 
 ever, the action have been reasonably defended, it seems 
 the costs may be recovered. But the fact that the defence, 
 though unreasonable in itself, has been useful in ascer- 
 taining the damages, does not make the defence reason- 
 able (a?). 
 
 In an action against a carrier for breach of contract to Breach of 
 cany, damages can only be given in respect of such conse- 
 quences of the breach as might reasonably be supposed to 
 have been in the contemplation of the parties at the time

 they entered into the contract (//) . Thus, if the goods 
 after their arrival are to be applied to a particular object, 
 which is not disclosed to the carrier, damages resulting 
 from failure of the object are not recoverable (z). On the 
 other hand, if the object for which the goods are to be 
 applied is expressly brought to the notice of the carrier, or 
 might reasonably have been inferred by him, damages 
 resulting from failure of the object may be recovered (a). 
 
 Notice given. So, in the latter case, damages for loss of profit may 
 be recovered (), or damages caused by a sub-purchaser

 But the notice to the carrier must be clear and unmistake- 
 able ; thus, notice that if the goods do not arrive in time 
 they will be thrown on the owner's hands (tf), or a general 
 knowledge on the part of the carrier that the goods were 
 bought for resale (e), or the fact that the goods have been 
 labelled " Travellers' goods deliver immediately" (/), is 
 not such notice to the carrier of the object to which the 
 goods are to be applied as to render him liable for failure 
 of the object.

 this point are not satisfactory. In the case of carriage by 
 sea such damages are not recoverable (//). 
 
 Where notice of the object for which the goods are Notice not 
 required is not brought to the notice of the carrier, the fi^ven. 
 plaintiff cannot recover damages resulting to him from the 
 failure of a contract with a third person (i), nor profits 
 which would have been made by his traveller (&), nor

 where a company had failed to provide proper trucks for 
 goods as they had contracted to do, and the goods were 
 sold, damages were not recoverable, as the goods might

 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).

THE CARRIERS ACT LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF CARRIERS. 119 
 
 To settle several difficulties that had arisen in conse- 
 quence, the Carriers Act, 1830 (e), was passed, which applies 
 to carriers by land only. 
 
 This Act was passed for the purpose of limiting the 
 liability of common carriers for hire in respect of certain 
 valuable articles. 
 
 Sect. 1 provides that after the passing of the Act " no Carriers not 
 mail contractor, stage-coach proprietor, or other common O f certain 
 carrier by land for hire shall be liable for the loss of or g oda > 
 injury to any article, or articles, or property of the 
 descriptions following " (/) . . . . " contained in any 
 parcel or package which shall have been delivered either 
 to be carried for hire or to accompany the person of any 
 passenger in any mail or stage-coach, or other public convey- 
 ance, when the value of such article or articles, or property 
 aforesaid, contained in such parcel or package shall exceed 
 the sum of ten pounds, unless at the time of the delivery unless value 
 thereof at the office, warehouse, or receiving house of such 
 mail contractor, stage-coach proprietor, or other common 
 carrier, or to his, her, or their book-keeper, coachman, or 
 other servant, for the purpose of being carried, or of 
 accompanying the person of any passenger as aforesaid, 
 the value and nature of such article or articles, or property, 
 shall have been declared by the person or persons sending 
 
 (e) 1 Will. IV. c. 68. 
 
 (/) These articles, with notes to them, will be found in alpha- 
 betical order below, p. 120. The words of the Act are as 
 follows: "(that is to say) gold or silver coin of this realm, or 
 any foreign State ; or any gold or silver in a manufactured or un- 
 manufactured state ; or any precious stones, jewellery, watches, 
 clocks, or timepieces of any description, trinkets, bills, notes of the 
 Governor and Company of the Banks of England, Scotland, and Ire- 
 land respectively, or of any other bank in Great Britain or Ireland, 
 orders, notes, or securities for payment of money, English or foreign 
 stamps, maps, writings, title-deeds, paintings, engravings, pictures, 
 gold or silver plate or plated articles, glass, china, silks in a manu- 
 factured or unmanufactured state, and whether wrought up or not 
 wrought up with other materials, furs, or lace, or any of them,"

 or delivering the same, and such, increased charge as 
 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.

 (25.) Timepieces of any description. 
 
 This includes a ship's chronometer (c) .

 It has been held under this head that ivory, and 
 agate bracelets, shirt pins, common gilt rings, brooches, 
 tortoiseshell and pearl portmonnaies, and glass smell- 
 ing bottles were trinkets, but not German silver fusee 
 boxes (d). An eyeglass and gold chain have been 
 held not to be trinkets, but this must be considered to 
 have been overruled by the case last referred to (e). 
 
 It seems that to be "trinkets" articles must be 
 used merely as ornaments, and if ornament and utility 
 be combined the ornamental purpose must predomi- 
 nate (/). 
 
 (28.) Watches. (See Timepieces (25).) 
 
 (29.) "Writings. (See under Bills (2).) 
 
 It is observable that the Carriers Act applies only to a Extent of the 
 common carrier by land for hire, but if the contract be to Acfc * 
 carry partly by land and partly by sea, the contract is 
 divisible, and the protection of the Act applies to the land 
 journey (g). Formal notice by the consignor of the nature 
 of the goods is not necessary, if the nature of the goods is 
 actually brought to the notice of the carrier, so as to 
 enable him to fix the extra charge which he is authorized 
 to make (h). When the Act has been complied with, and 
 the nature and value of the articles has been declared, the 
 common law liability of the carrier revives, even though 
 he demand no extra charge (i).

 Non-compli- Where the goods are within the description of those 
 A^ ^ mentioned in the Act, and the nature and value is not 
 
 declared, the protection afforded to the carrier in case of 
 loss or injury to the goods seems absolute. It extends 
 either to a temporary or permanent loss of the goods, and 
 damages cannot be recovered in either case () . Nor is the 
 carrier liable even if the loss is caused by gross negligence 
 on the part of his servants (/). He is not liable if the 
 goods are put out of the train short of their destination, 
 or carried beyond it, or sent on a wrong journey alto- 
 gether (w), or even if the goods are by mistake delivered to 
 the wrong person altogether (ti). 
 
 When no Where, however, there is no loss or injury to the goods, 
 
 protection. ^e carr i er [ 3 no ^ protected against the consequences of 
 
 delay in delivering the goods (0), nor is he protected if he 
 
 deliver them to a person whom he knows not to be the 
 
 consignee (p). 
 
 If the goods come within the description contained in 
 the Act, the declaration as to their nature and value must 
 be made, whether they are delivered to Hie carrier at his 
 office or elsewhere. The result of such a declaration is 
 that if the extra charge be paid, and the goods lost, the 
 carrier will be liable ; or, on the other hand, if he refuses 
 to give a receipt, he will lose the benefit of the statute. 
 But in no case can the sender recover until he has taken 
 the initial step and made the declaration (q) .

 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-

 leading and actually misleads the person to whom 
 it is presented (r) . 
 
 (4.) The conditions may be unreasonable in themselves or 
 irrelevant to the main purpose of the contract. As 
 if a ticket given to a person depositing luggage in 
 a cloak room provided that the luggage, if not 
 removed within two days, should become the 
 absolute property of the company (/). 
 
 Further, any office used by the carrier is to be deemed Office, 
 to be his receiving house, warehouse, or office (g). So an 
 inn, where the carrier was in the habit of receiving parcels, 
 has been held to be his office, warehouse, or receiving 
 house within the meaning of the Act (A). And any one 
 mail contractor, stage coach proprietor, or carrier, is to be 
 liable to be sued for injury or damage to the goods, and 
 the action not to abate for want of parties (i) . 
 
 Where the Act has been complied with, and the in- Damages for 
 creased charges paid in respect of any parcel, and loss or 
 damage ensues, the party entitled to recover damages in 
 respect of such loss or damage may also recover back the 
 increased charge so paid in addition to the value of the 
 parcel (k). 
 
 In case of loss or injury to a parcel containing goods 
 which come within the Act, the declared value is not con- 
 clusive as to the value of the parcel, but the carrier is 
 entitled to require from the party suing proof of the 
 actual value of its contents by ordinary legal evidence, and 
 is liable to such damages only as may be proved, not

 exceeding the declared value, together with the increased 
 charges as above stated (I). It seems that the " value " of 
 the goods for the purpose of the Act is that which the 
 consignee has agreed to pay, and not that at which they 
 were bought by the consignor (m) . In such actions the 
 carrier may pay money into Court in the same manner 
 and with the same effect as in other actions (n). And 
 where the Carriers Act is relied on it need not be specially 
 pleaded (o) . 
 
 Wilful mis- The protection afforded by the Carriers Act does not 
 felony cover acts of wilful misconduct on the part of the carrier 
 
 or his servants, and sect. 8 provides that " Nothing in this 
 Act shall be deemed to protect any mail contractor, stage 
 coach proprietor, or other common carrier for hire, from 
 liability to answer for loss or injury to any goods or 
 articles whatsoever arising from the felonious acts of any 
 coachman, guard, book-keeper, porter, or other servant in 
 his or their employ, nor to protect any such coachman, 
 guard, book-keeper or other servant from liability for any 
 loss or injury occasioned by his or their own personal 
 neglect or misconduct." So if, in reply to a defence 
 under the Carriers Act, felony is set up, the question of 
 negligence is immaterial (p). And the plaintiff need not 
 show such evidence of felony as would be necessary to 
 convict a particular servant, provided he makes out a 
 jn-inid fade case that the goods were stolen by the servants 
 of the carrier (q) . And a statement by a station-master to 
 a policeman that the parcel is missing, and that a servant,

 delivered, has absconded, with a request to the police to 
 make inquiries for him, has been admitted as evidence to 
 prove the felony (r). So it was considered that a ^r/w<2 
 facie case had been made where the goods had been traced 
 to the possession of a servant, who had dealt with them as 
 his own, and his possession of them was not accounted 
 for(). 
 
 On the other hand, it is not sufficient, in order to make Evidence held 
 out B,pt'i ma facie case of felony by the carrier's servants, to n 
 show merely that the goods have been lost or tampered 
 with (#), or that the goods were last seen in the possession 
 of the carrier's servant in the ordinary performance of his 
 duty (u) 9 or that the carrier's servants had greater facilities 
 of access to the goods than other persons (v) . 
 
 A servant of the earner's agent for delivery is a servant Who is a 
 of the carrier within the meaning of the section (x) ; but if 
 a person fraudulently represents himself to a clerk of the 
 carrier to be the servant of the carrier, the carrier is not 
 estopped from showing that he is not in fact his servant (y) . 
 
 The provisions of the Carriers Act are now somewhat 
 out of date, and have from time to time caused dissatisfac- 
 tion. In particular, it will be observed that there is no 
 restriction whatever placed upon the additional charge 
 which the carrier may make for insuring goods which 
 come within the Act.

 1875, and reported in 1877, recommending that the 
 maximum rate of insurance ought to be fixed by law, and 
 the eighth section of the Carriers Act repealed. But 
 several railway companies (z) proposed to the committee 
 to bind themselves for a period of five years to insure all 
 goods within the Act upon the terms set out in the 
 schedule to the report, and not to alter those terms or 
 conditions without giving to the President of the Board of 
 Trade, and, as far as might be, to the public, notice of

132 CARRIAGE OF MERCHANDISE BY RAILWAY. 
 
 CHAPTEE X. 
 
 SPECIAL CONTRACTS AND SECTION 7 OF THE RAILWAY AND 
 CANAL TRAFFIC ACT, 1854. 
 
 WE have seen that under the Carriers Act, while the 
 carrier was precluded from limiting his liability in regard 
 to goods which did not come within that Act by general 
 notices, his power to enter with the consignor into a special 
 contract with regard to the carriage of the goods was 
 expressly retained (a). After the establishment of railway 
 companies it was soon found that they possessed a practical 
 monopoly on their respective lines, and were able to insist 
 upon special contracts, not merely limiting their liability, 
 but freeing themselves from responsibility, even for gross 
 negligence. This conduct gave rise to general dissatisfac- 
 tion, and also caused much litigation (b). To meet this, 
 sect. 7 of the Railway and Canal Traffic Act was passed. 
 The section provides : 
 
 " Every such company as aforesaid shall be liable for the 
 loss of or for any injury done to any horses, cattle, or other 
 animals, or to any articles, goods, or things in the receiving, 
 forwarding, or delivering thereof, occasioned by the neglect 
 or default of such company or its servants, notwithstanding 
 any notice, condition, or declaration made and given by 
 such company contrary thereto, or in anywise limiting 
 
 (a) See ante, p. 1L'.").

 such liability ; every such imtico, condition, or declaration 
 
 being hereby declared to be null and void : provided (!) Condition 
 
 always, that nothing herein contained shall be construed a bi e . 
 
 to prevent the said companies from making such conditions 
 
 with respect to the receiving, forwarding, and delivering 
 
 of any of the said animals, articles, goods, or things as 
 
 shall be adjudged by the Court or judge before whom any 
 
 question relating thereto shall be tried, to be just and 
 
 reasonable : provided always, that no greater damages (2) Liability 
 
 shall be recovered for the loss of, or for any injury done certain cases 
 
 to any of such animals, beyond the sums hereinafter men- 
 
 tioned ; (that is to say) for any horse, fifty pounds ; for 
 
 any neat cattle, per head, fifteen pounds ; for any sheep, 
 
 or pigs, per head, two pounds ; unless the person sending or 
 
 delivering the same to such company shall, at the time of 
 
 such delivery, have declared them to be respectively of higher 
 
 value than as above mentioned ; in which case it shall be 
 
 lawful for such company to demand and receive, by way

 This section only applies to the receiving, forwarding, 
 or delivering of traffic by a railway company ; conse- 
 quently, it does not apply to a condition exempting the 
 company from liability on a railway not belonging to or 
 worked by the company, and if a company issue a ticket 
 containing such a condition and amounting to a special 
 contract, they will be protected in the case of loss not 
 occurring on their own line(c); but in such a case the onus 
 of proof is on the railway company to show that they have 
 delivered the traffic out of their own custody (d). We have 
 already discussed what, apart from this section, constitutes 
 a special contract (e). 
 
 Nor does the section apply where the railway company 
 are acting in a different capacity, for instance, as ware- 
 housemen (/). 
 
 Since the passing of the Eailways Clauses Act of 1863 (#), 
 where a railway company are authorized to use or employ 
 steam vessels, the Eailway and Canal Traffic Act, 1854, is 
 made applicable to such steam vessels and to the traffic 
 carried thereby (//). Consequently this section is incor- 
 porated, and to protect themselves in such a case by 
 special conditions, a railway company must comply with 
 the requirements of this section (/). 
 
 The words "loss or injury" are the same as in the

 Carriers Act, and would probably be held to have the 
 same meaning (ante, p. 124). They have, however, in 
 one case, been assumed to apply to injury caused by loss 
 of market arising from delay (./). 
 
 It is important to notice, however, that the words of " Neglect or 
 the Act are "loss or injury" occasioned by the " neglect 
 or default" of the company, and on one occasion the 
 majority of the Court of Exchequer Chamber, differing 
 thereon from the Court below, seem to have considered 
 that where there was no misconduct on the part of the 
 company, and the loss or injury arose from pure accident, 
 the section had no application (/). If that be so, it would 
 seem that where the loss or injury was due to pure acci- 
 dent, the railway company might be protected by special 
 contract, though not reasonable, or in writing, or signed 
 by the owner or consignor ; but the point is still un- 
 decided. 
 
 The fact that horses, cattle, sheep, and pigs are specifi- 
 cally mentioned in the second proviso does not prevent the 
 section applying to other animals. Thus it extends to 
 dogs (/). Also it applies to passengers' luggage, whether 
 carried in the van or taken with the passenger (m). 
 
 This section has caused considerable difference of judicial 
 opinion, and given rise to much litigation. The section 
 appears in the Traffic Act of 1854 (n) t but (except that it 
 relates to the carriage of goods) has no reference to the 
 other sections of that Act, which deal with the jurisdiction 
 of the Court of Common Pleas over cases of undue pre-

 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. 
 
 In order, therefore, that a railway company may limit 
 its liability in case of loss of or injury to goods carried by

 it by means of a special contract, the contract must comply 
 with, three conditions: 
 (1.) It must be reasonable. 
 (2.) It must be in writing. 
 
 (3.) It must be signed by the party to be bound by the 
 contract, or the person delivering the goods to the 
 company. 
 
 If a railway company set up a condition in a special 0) Reason- 
 contract to qualify or restrict their common law liability, 
 
 the onus of showing that it is a reasonable condition rests 
 upon the railway company who allege it (p) . The question 
 of what is a reasonable condition is, generally, a question 
 of mixed law and fact (q) 9 and must be decided upon the 
 circumstances of each case (r). But, generally speaking, a 
 condition limiting the railway company's liability is reason- 
 able if it is accompanied by compensating advantages to 
 the customer, such as cheapness and the like, and the 
 customer has the alternative of getting rid of the con- 
 dition on reasonable terms (s) . 
 
 The 7th section of the Traffic Act of 1854, however, Alternative 
 does not authorize a company to charge more than their r< 
 maximum, except in the cases specifically mentioned. 
 Where, therefore, two rates are offered, a higher one at 
 company's risk, and a lower one at owner's risk, the higher 
 rate must be within the maximum (t) . 
 
 In the case, however, of the animals specifically mentioned, 
 that is, horses declared to be of greater value than 50/.,

 cattle of greater value than 15/., and sheep or pigs of greater 
 value than 2/., the company may charge a reasonable 
 percentage upon the excess of the value so declared above 
 the respective sums so limited, which may be in addition 
 to the maximum (it). In the case of such animals, 
 however, below the value mentioned, and all other kinds 
 of animals, the company's risk rate must be below the 
 maximum. 
 
 In order to entitle the company to a charge in excess of 
 their maximum, the declaration that the animal is worth 
 more than stated in the Act must have been actually made, 
 and the knowledge of the company as to the value of an 
 animal, not derived from a declaration to that effect, will 
 not enable them to charge an increased rate under the 
 section (r), and the declaration must have been made by 
 the sender that it should operate so as to enable the 
 company to charge the higher rate (ic). 
 
 But if a consignor of horses make a declaration that his 
 horses are not worth more than 107. each, and they are 
 injured on the way, he is estopped from denying the truth 
 of his declaration (x). 
 
 The following conditions have been held to be just and 
 reasonable : 
 
 That the company should carry traffic at " owners' risk 
 for a rate lower than the ordinary rate, a reasonable 
 alternative rate being offered at which they would carry 
 as insurers" (y}. 
 
 That the company should not be responsible under any 
 circumstances for loss of market or other loss or injury 
 arising from delayer detention of train, exposure to weather,

 That claims for damage should be made within seven

 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

 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

140 CARRIAGE OF MERCHANDISE BY RAILWAY. 
 
 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" (//).

 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

 taining the signature as to leave no room for doubt as to 
 what is the document referred to, and to make the two 
 pieces of paper virtually one document (r) . 
 
 (3) Signature. The owner is bound by reasonable conditions, if signed 
 by a servant on his behalf, even though the servant cannot 
 read () ; and it has been held sufficient where the condi- 
 tions were signed by a railway agent employed by the 
 consignor to deliver the goods to the company (t) . The 
 section, however, must be complied with, and the conditions 
 signed either by the person against whom they are used or 
 by the person delivering them to the company. And so, 
 although a consignor might make one of the company's 
 servants his agent for signing the conditions, a railway 
 company permitting its servants to sign such conditions 
 would be acting unwisely. The question would imme- 
 diately arise whether delivery to the servant was not con- 
 structive delivery to the company. 
 
 The section only requires the conditions to be signed by 
 the owner of the traffic if they are to be used against him, 
 and so, though not signed by the owner, the railway com- 
 pany may set them up as a special contract under sect. 6 
 of the Carriers Act (u). 
 
 A contract to carry at "owner's risk" only absolves the 
 company from liability owing to accident in the ordinary 
 course of transit, but does not protect the company from 
 liability owing to delay (r), or owing to the goods being 
 carried in an unusual manner (/r). 
 
 A V here there are special conditions of carriage exone- 
 rating the company from liability, and an exception is 
 inserted for wilful misconduct on the part of the company, 
 this means wilful misconduct with a knowledge that it

 will lead to injury (.r). There is no necessity that a 
 criminal intention should be made out. So where a railway 
 company having carried goods from one station to another, 
 the station master at the place to which they were carried, 
 without making any inquiries of the consignor, after the 
 delay of a week delivered the goods not to the consignee, 
 but to a person of a name very similar, the delivery was 
 held wilful misconduct (y) . 
 
 "Where under a special contract for the carriage of Loss, deten- 
 cattle, duly signed, the company were not to be liable for 
 any loss, detention, or injury to the animals, except it 
 arose from wilful misconduct on the part of the company 
 or its servants, and the cattle were detained at the delivery 
 terminus in consequence of the clerk of the company 
 having omitted to enter them as carriage paid, it was held 
 that the withholding of the cattle upon a groundless claim 
 was not " detention " of them within the conditions, and 
 that the company were liable (s) . 
 
 And, although a railway company may have contracted Negligence, 
 themselves out of their liability as common carriers or 
 insurers of the goods they carry, they may still be liable 
 if the damage to the goods arises from the negligence of 
 the company or their servants (a). So, where the owner 
 of a cow had agreed that the company should not be 
 liable for " any loss or injury to cattle in the receiving, 
 forwarding, or delivering, if such damage be occasioned 
 by the kicking, plunging, or restiveness of the animal," it 
 was held that the damage to the cow being caused by the 
 negligence of the company's servant in delivering, the 
 company were liable (6).

 Gross negli- Where a contract provided that a company should not 
 be liable " except in the case of gross negligence or fraud," 
 the Court, holding the contract to be reasonable, said, "In 
 the case of a carrier or other agent holding himself out for the 
 careful and skilful performance of a particular duty, gross 
 negligence includes the want of that reasonable care, skill, 
 and expedition, which may properly be expected from 
 persons so holding themselves out and their servants."

 reasonable care, skill, and expedition" (c).

CHAPTER XI. 
 
 EXPLOSIVES AND DANGEROUS GOODS. 
 
 THE carriage of explosives and dangerous goods forms the 
 subject of special legislation. And, so far as rates are con- 
 cerned, they are placed in the exceptional class, and it will 
 be observed that the rates chargeable for their carriage are 
 not limited as in the case of other traffic, but are " such 
 reasonable sum as the company may think fit in each 
 case" (a). 
 
 The Railways Clauses Act, sect. 105, provides : 
 "No person shall be entitled -to carry, or to require the 
 company to carry, upon the railway any aquafortis, oil of 
 vitriol, gunpowder, lucifer matches, or any other goods 
 which, in the judgment of the company may be of a 
 dangerous nature ; and if any person send by the railway 
 any such goods without distinctly marking their nature 
 on the outside of the package containing the same, or 
 otherwise giving notice in writing to the book-keeper or 
 other servant of the company with whom the same are left 
 at the time of so sending, he shall forfeit to the company 
 twenty pounds for every such offence, and it shall be law- 
 ful for the company to refuse to take any parcel that they 
 may suspect to contain goods of a dangerous nature, or 
 require the same to be opened to ascertain the fact." 
 
 It will be noticed that this section gives the railway 
 company a very large discretion as to what are goods of a 
 dangerous nature. Probably railway companies could not 
 
 () See/w*#, p. 210. 
 
 D. I, 
 
116 CARRIAGE OF MERCHANDISE BY RAILWAY. 
 
 be compelled by the Railway Commissioners under their 
 power to order reasonable facilities to carry goods coming 
 within this section (b). 
 
 In order to convict a person of the offence of sending 
 dangerous goods under this section, a guilty knowledge on 
 the part of the sender must be shown (c) . 
 
 A person employing a carrier to convey an article of so 
 dangerous a nature as to require extraordinary care in the 
 conveyance, must communicate the fact to the carrier, or 
 he may be responsible for any injury which may result 
 from his omission to do so (cl). 
 
 By the Explosives Act, 1875 (e\ every railway company 
 carrying gunpowder, nitre-glycerine, dynamite, or "any 
 other substance, whether similar to those above mentioned 
 or not, used or manufactured with a view to produce a 
 practical effect by explosion or a pyrotechnic effect," must 
 make bye-laws regulating such conveyance, which have to 
 be confirmed by the Board of Trade. 
 
 Shortly after the passing of the Act, a model code of 
 bye-laws was agreed to by the Board of Trade and the 
 fifty-two railway companies who are members of the

 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.

 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 
 appointment of an arbitrator : 
 
 (b) If an appointed arbitrator refuses to act, or is in- 
 
 capable of acting, or dies, and the submission does 
 not show that it was intended that the vacancy 
 should not be supplied, and the parties do not 
 supply the vacancy : 
 
 (c) "Where the parties, or two arbitrators, are at liberty 
 
 to appoint an umpire or third arbitrator, and do 
 not appoint him : 
 
 (d) Where an appointed umpire, or third arbitrator, 
 
 refuses to act, or is incapable of acting, or dies, 
 and the submission does not show that it was in- 
 tended that the vacancy should not be supplied, 
 and the parties, or arbitrators, do not supply the 
 vacancy : 
 
 any party may serve the other parties, or the arbitrators, 
 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 like powers to act iii the reference and makr an award 
 as if he had been appointed by consent of all parties." 
 
 Where a submission provided for the reference of matters When Court 
 in difference, "to an arbitrator or umpire," it was held that ^ 
 this was a reference to a single arbitrator within sect. 5 of 
 the Act, and that in such a case a written notice by one 
 of the parties to the other requiring him " to concur in 
 appointing an arbitrator " was a sufficient notice to appoint 
 an arbitrator within the same section ; the Act not having 
 intended that the party to whom notice was given should 
 have the power of appointing the sole arbitrator by him- 
 self (<?). 
 
 It has been held by the majority of the Court of Ap- 
 peal (/), that when once the Court is satisfied that a 
 dispute has arisen between the parties within the submis- 
 sion, and that the conditions precedent (as to notice, &c.) 
 required by the section have been complied with, that it 
 has no discretion as to making the appointment, and that 
 the words " the Court may appoint " are to be read as 
 " the Court must appoint." 
 
 The Court has, however, no power to appoint an umpire When Court 
 in cases not provided for by the Act, and so in a case where appoint 
 the reference was to three arbitrators, one to be appointed 
 by each party, and the third by the two arbitrators, but one 
 of the parties refused to appoint an arbitrator at all, the 
 Court had no power to compel him to do so, or to appoint 
 an arbitrator instead of him (#) . 
 
 And where the parties have, by their contract, appointed 
 an arbitrator, and provided a method for the appointment 
 of a fresh arbitrator on the failure of the one originally 
 appointed, by naming a person to appoint the fresh arbi- 
 trator, it was held that, on the original arbitrator failing, 
 the Arbitration Act did not so override the contract between

 the parties as to empower the Court to appoint the fresh 
 arbitrator. The original arbitrator was absent in America. 
 It was held that he had " failed " within the meaning of 
 the contract (7^). 
 
 By sect. 6 of the Act : 
 
 " Where a submission provides that the reference shall 
 be to tw r o arbitrators, one to be appointed by each part}', 
 then, unless the submission expresses a contrary intention : 
 
 (a) If either of the appointed arbitrators refuses to act, 
 
 or is incapable of acting, or dies, the party who 
 appointed him may appoint a new arbitrator in 
 his place : 
 
 (b) If, on such reference, one party fails to appoint an 
 
 arbitrator, either originally, or by way of substitu- 
 tion as aforesaid, for seven clear days after the 
 other party, having appointed his arbitrator, has 
 served the party making default with notice to 
 make the appointment, the party who has appointed 
 an arbitrator may appoint that arbitrator to act as 
 sole arbitrator in the reference, and his award shall 
 be binding on both parties as if he had been ap- 
 pointed by consent : 
 
 Provided that the Court or a judge may set aside any 
 appointment made in pursuance of this section." 
 
 Staying Legal Proceedings. 
 
 " If any party to a submission, or any person claiming 1 
 through or under him, commences any legal proceedings 
 in any Court against any other party to the submission, or 
 any person claiming through or under him in respect of 
 any matter agreed to be referred, any party to such legal 
 proceedings may at any time after appearance, and before 
 delivering any pleadings, or taking any other steps in the

 proceedings, apply to that Court to stay the proceedings, 
 and that Court, or a judge thereof, if satisfied that there is 
 no sufficient reason why the matter should not be referred 
 in accordance with the submission, and that the applicant 
 was, at the time when the proceedings were commenced, 
 and still remains ready and willing to do all things neces- 
 sary to the proper conduct of the arbitration, may make an 
 order staying the proceedings" (/). 
 
 As a general rule, on an application to stay proceedings General rui-. 
 in an action on the ground that there is a submission to 
 arbitration, the question to be decided is, whether the 
 subject-matter of the action comes within the terms of the 
 submission (/) . Under this provision, however, the Court 
 has a discretion to refuse to stay the proceedings in the 
 action, which it will exercise, even though the subject- 
 matter of the action be covered by the submission (/). 
 
 And if the action be brought in respect of matters some 
 only of which are covered by the submission, the Court 
 will, in the exercise of its discretion, refuse to stay the 
 action so far as relates to the matters included in the sub- 
 mission (m); and so in a case where the chief question 
 arose on a point of law, which would have had to be raised 
 before the Court by the arbitrator stating a special case, 
 the Court refused to stay the action in the High Court, 
 but directed the summons to stand over until the question 
 of law had been determined in the action (n) . As a rule, 
 however, it is not a sufficient reason for taking the case

 away from the arbitrator that the decision will involve 
 questions of law(o). 
 
 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,

 the Court will not necessarily allow him to proceed by 
 action (.>) . And if the parties have agreed that the award 
 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) .

 properly revoked the submission (e) . It is desirable that 
 the notice should inform the party that if he do not attend 
 the arbitrator will proceed in his absence (/) . And if this 
 be not done, and one of the parties fail to attend, it will 
 be advisable for the arbitrator to adjourn the meeting (#). 
 If, however, after proper notice has been given him, one of 
 the parties fails to attend the meetings, the arbitrator will 
 be justified in proceeding in his absence (//). 
 
 The arbitrator has a general discretion as to the method 
 in which the case shall be conducted (?'), and may decide 
 whether or not he will take a view of any premises forming 
 the subject of the inquiry (). He must be careful, how- 
 ever, not to exclude any one from the inquiry whose 
 presence or assistance either of the parties may desire, 
 without good reason for so doing. In Ilaigh v. IIaff/h(l), 
 Lord Justice Turner said : " I certainly do not mean to 
 lay it down that an arbitrator is bound to submit to insults 
 from those who attend him, but I think that before he 
 excludes any one from attending on behalf of any of the 
 parties interested, he is bound to ascertain that there is 
 good reason for the exclusion, and to take the best care he 
 can that the party who is affected by the exclusion is not 
 prejudiced by it."

 arbitrator, it will be well to give notice of such intention 
 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. 
 grounds : 
 
 1. That it would tend to incriminate the party or expose 
 him to the risk of any kind of punishment, whether 
 it be by way of penalties, forfeiture, or ecclesias-

 their disclosure would be injurious to the public

 It is, however, for the arbitrators and not one of the 
 parties to decide whether or not particular documents are 
 material (#). 
 
 The High Court has no jurisdiction to grant an order 
 for an affidavit of documents even when the arbitration 
 takes place under an order of the Court, the whole 
 jurisdiction as to discovery being in the hands of the 
 arbitrator (//). 
 
 Under the Bankers' Books Evidence Act(s) copies of 
 bankers' books are evidence of the books before arbitrators, 
 and may be verified by oral evidence or by affidavit.

ARBITRATIONS. 163 
 
 The Arbitration Act, 1889 (a), also provides that (1) "the Subpoena 
 
 n . , , ,, 'i. i , within United 
 
 Court or a judge may order that a writ of subpoena ad Kingdom. 
 
 or of Kidtjuvuti (tiiccx tccinn, shall issue to compel 
 the attendance before an official or special referee, or before 
 any arbitrator or umpire, of a witness, wherever he may be 
 within the United Kingdom ; and (2) the Court or a judge 
 may also order that a writ of habeas corpus ad testificandiun 
 shall issue to bring up a prisoner for examination before 
 an official or special referee, or before any arbitrator or 
 umpire." Thus providing for securing, on an English 
 arbitration, the attendance of witnesses in Scotland and 
 Ireland. There is, however, no jurisdiction to issue a 
 commission for the examination of persons abroad, under 
 a submission to arbitration by agreement between the 
 parties (b) ; but it is otherwise when the arbitration takes 
 place under a statute, as where a dissentient shareholder's 
 interest is being ascertained under the Companies Act, 
 1862, and in such a case a commission may issue (<?). 
 
 The arbitrators or umpire have power, unless the sub- Administer- 
 mission express a contrary intention, to administer oaths mg oaths > &c - 
 to, and take the affirmations of, the parties and witnesses 
 appearing (d) ; and any person wilfully and corruptly Perjury. 
 giving false evidence before any referee, arbitrator, or 
 umpire is guilty of perjury as if the evidence had been 
 given in open Court, and may be dealt with, prosecuted, 
 and punished accordingly (e). And the manufacturing of 
 false evidence before an arbitrator, not amounting to 
 perjury, has been held a criminal offence (/).

 manner as in the case of a trial at law (g). And this

 Evidence. Arbitrators are bound by those rules of evidence which 
 
 govern courts of law (/>) . 
 
 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 
 think fit, and to allow the umpire to decide on reading the 
 notes of evidence taken down by the arbitrators (a) ; or a 
 shorthand writer's notes of evidence signed by the arbi-

 If the time expire without any enlargement being made, 
 or if an invalid enlargement be made, and the parties sub- 
 sequently attend before the arbitrator without taking any 
 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 (/).

 The appointment of an umpire in writing by the arbi-

 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). 
 
 In stating a case on a point of law, the arbitrators Case, how to

 Court to determine the question of law (z). He should 
 not, however, set out the evidence, leaving the Court to 
 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). 
 
 If the Court disapprove the decision of an arbitrator, it 
 has no power to alter it, and can only send it back to the 
 arbitrator or set it aside (e) . 
 
 Appeal. There is no appeal from the decision of the High Court 
 
 on a case stated during the reference under sect. 20 of the 
 Arbitration Act, 1889 (/) ; but if the award be stated in 
 the form of a special case under sect. 7 an appeal will lie 
 from the decision of the High Court thereon (</).

 Remitting to Arbitrators. 
 
 Section 10 of the Arbitration Act, 1889, gives power to 
 the Court to remit the reference to the arbitrators. It 
 provides 
 
 " (1) In all cases of reference to arbitration, the Court Power to 
 or a judge may from time to time remit the matters re- remit - 
 f erred, or any of them, to the reconsideration of the arbi- 
 trators or umpire. 
 
 " (2) Where an award is remitted, the arbitrators or 
 umpire shall, unless the order otherwise directs, make their 
 award within three months after the date of the order." 
 
 If the arbitrators go outside the subject-matters of the 
 reference it will be a ground for remitting the reference to 
 them (k) ; but if they have kept themselves substantially 
 to the matter referred to them the Court will not interfere, 
 especially if the objection was not taken before the arbi- 
 trators (/). 
 
 As to whether an arbitrator is bound to receive fresh Fresh 
 evidence when a case is remitted to him, the cases are not evldence - 
 very satisfactory. The general conclusion to be gathered 
 from them is that when the award is remitted for some 
 specific alteration or addition (w), or because it is in some 
 respect uncertain (ri), the arbitrator need not hear further 
 evidence. But that if it be remitted on any question of 
 substance he should do so if the parties are desirous of 
 bringing anything further before him (0).

 1. Where an arbitrator or umpire has misconducted 
 himself, the Court may remove him. 
 
 "2. Where an arbitrator or umpire has misconducted 
 himself, or an arbitration or award has been improperly 
 procured, the Court may set the award aside." 
 
 Time. An application to set aside an award may be made at 
 
 any time before the last day of the sittings next after such 
 award has been made and published to the parties (p). 
 The application is by motion, notice of motion to state the 
 grounds of the application. Notice of motion given 
 before the last day of the sittings is the beginning of an 
 application (q) . The time may be extended by an order 
 of the Court or a judge (r), but not by consent of the 
 parties (s). Vice-Chancellor Malins (t) thought that the 
 arbitrators need not be served with the notice of motion to 
 set aside the award. 
 
 It is, however, competent for the parties to agree that 
 an award shall not be set aside on the ground of fraud on 
 the part of the arbitrator, such an agreement not being 
 against public policy, provided there is no fraud on the 
 part of either of the parties (u) . 
 
 Misconduct. The award will be set aside if it appears that the arbi- 
 trator was interested in the subject-matter (?r). And so

 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

 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 special case. Such costs are costs of the reference, and 
 therefore the arbitrator may direct by whom they are to be 
 paid, unless the contrary be provided in the submission (o) . 
 
 Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 
 The Arbitration Act, 1889, is to apply to any arbitra- Crown to be

 crown (o) . 
 
 The Act is not to affect any arbitration pending at the 
 commencement of the Act p. e. 9 1st of January, 1890 (/>)], 
 but applies to any arbitration commenced after the com- 
 mencement of the Act under any agreement or order made 
 before the commencement of the Act (q) ; and so it applies 
 to an arbitration held since 1st January, 1890, under a 
 submission made before that date (r). 
 
 The Act also contains the following definitions (s) : 
 
 " Submission " means a written agreement to submit 
 present or future differences to arbitration, whether 
 an arbitrator is named therein or not. 
 
 " Court " means her Majesty's High Court of Justice. 
 
 " Judge " means a judge of her Majesty's High Court 
 of Justice. 
 
 " Kules of Court " mean the Rules of the Supreme Court 
 made by the proper authority under the Judicature 
 Acts. 
 
 Rules of Court may be made conferring on a Master the 
 powers of a judge (t). 
 
 The Act repeals the prior enactments relating to arbitra- 
 tions (t^), and does not extend to Scotland or Ireland (r).

 to references under order of Court : 
 
 Sect. 13 " (1). Subject to Rules of Court (;), and to any right to 
 have particular cases tried by a jury, the Court or a judge may 
 refer any question arising in any cause or matter, other than a 
 criminal proceeding by the Crown, for inquiry or report to any 
 official or special referee. 
 
 " (2) The report of an official or special referee may be adopted 
 wholly or partially by the Court or a judge, and if so adopted may 
 be enforced as a judgment or order to the same effect." 
 
 Sect. 14. " In any cause or matter (other than a criminal pro- 
 ceeding by the Crown) 
 
 (a) If all the parties interested who are not under any disability 
 
 consent ; or

 documents, or any scientific or local investigation, which 
 cannot, in the opinion of the Court or a judge, conveniently 
 be made before a jury or conducted by the Court through 
 its ordinary officers ; or 
 
 (c) If the question in dispute consists wholly or in part of matters 
 
 of account ; 
 
 the Court or a judge may at any time order the whole cause or 
 matter, or any issue of fact arising therein, to be tried before a 
 special referee or arbitrator respectively agreed on by the parties, 
 or before an official referee or officer of the Court. 
 
 " A reference of ' all matters in difference ' between the parties is

 Order of the Board of Trade under the Railway and 
 Canal Traffic Act, 1888, embodying the classifi-

 The short titles of the Orders confirmed in 1892 vary slightly in 
 form from those confirmed in 1891, so in the case of each company 
 the short title of the provisional order will be found in the part 
 dealing with special conditions and rates, pp. 216 et seq. 
 
 2. This order shall come into force and have Commence- 
 effect [on the 1st of August, 1892,] or such later meDt 
 date as the Board of Trade may by order direct, 
 
 which date is in this order referred to as the 
 commencement of this order. 
 
 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. 
 
 3. This order is to be read and construed sub-

 railway companies, and will be found on pp. 208 to 215. 
 
 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 
 
 (c) See an excellent statement of this view by Sir F. Petl in Hall v.

 provision of station accommodation, and the services ivudrrrd by 
 
 them at tlu-ir terminal stations, which had formerly been per- 
 formed by Pickford or Chaplin & Home, or the other carriers. 
 This view has finally been upheld by the Court of Appeal (/), and 
 there can be no doubt that it is the basis on which these provisional 
 orders have been framed. Thus, under these provisional orders, 
 when a railway company undertakes the carriage of goods at 
 station-to-station rates, they are entitled to make : 
 
 (1.) A charge for conveyance or haulage from point to point, Conveyance. 
 
 limited by the maximum conveyance rate (clause 2) ; 
 (l2.) A charge for station terminals, limited by the maximum Station 
 
 station terminal for the particular class of goods (clause 3) ; terminal. 
 (3.) A charge for services when rendered by the company at the Service 
 terminal stations, limited in respect of each service by the terminal, 
 appropriate maximum service terminal (clause 4) ; 
 
 (4.) A charge for certain special services, if required by the Special 
 trader, " by way of addition to the tonnage rate," which in- service ^ 
 elude collection and delivery when the traffic is consigned at 
 collection and delivery rates (clause 5) ; 
 
 (5.) In the case of merchandise in Class A., when the traffic is Trucks, 
 conveyed in the company's trucks, they may make a charge 
 for the provision of trucks, limited by the maximum truck 
 rate (clause 9). 
 
 2 (g). The maximum rate for conveyance is the Maximum 
 maximum raje which the company may charge 
 for the conveyance of merchandise by merchan- 
 dise train ; and, subject to the exceptions and 
 provisions specified in this schedule, includes the 
 provision of locomotive power and trucks by the 
 company, and every other expense incidental to 
 such conveyance not hereinafter provided for. 
 Provided that

 may not charge to a trader any service terminal

 is not allowed by the company to perform for

 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.

 arbitrator to be appointed by the Board of Trade 
 at the instance of either party. Provided that 
 where before any service is rendered to a trader 
 he has given notice in writing to the company 
 that he does not require it, the service shall not

 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).

 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."

 " As for a reasonable minimum load." This would probably be

 class C. two tons (n). It will also be found that certain articles are 
 
 () This suggestion is made for the following 1 reason. In the year 1852 
 traffic in the Mineral Class of the Clearing House Classification had to be 
 in " full loads." This, however, gave rise to difficulty in determining 
 what was a full load, and consequently in 1861 "full loads" were 
 changed to "four ton loads " (see the evidence before the Parliamentary 
 Committee on Railway Rates, 1891, of Mr. Findlay, Q. 3172, and Mr. 
 Lambert, Q. 3272) ; and a similar scheme seems to have been adopted in the 
 present classification (see post, 365, 366). The southern companies adopted 
 a five-ton minimum, but the four-ton minimum for rl.-ts-p* A. and B, 
 now applies to both northern and southern companies,

 be adduced as evidence of what made a reasonable truck load. 
 
 "With regard to classes 1 to 5, however, the quantity which would 
 form a reasonable minimum load would vary with each article, and 
 the ordinary custom of railway traffic. 
 
 13. Where a consignment by merchandise train 
 is over three hundredweight and under 5 tons in 
 weight, a fraction of a quarter of a hundredweight 
 may be charged for as a quarter of a hundred- 
 weight ; and where a consignment by merchan- 
 dise train is over five tons in weight, a fraction 
 of a quarter of a ton may be charged for as a 
 quarter of a ton. 
 
 14. For a fraction of a mile the company may 
 charge according to the number of quarters of a 
 mile in that fraction, and a fraction of a quarter 
 of a mile may be charged for as a quarter of a mile. 
 
 15. For a fraction of a penny in the gross

 for the entire distance carried, the company may

 SPECIAL PROVISIONS. 
 
 THE foregoing provisions are (with the few exceptions noticed 
 above) common to the schedules of all the English railway com- 
 panies. The classification of traffic which is also common to all the 
 schedules is, for convenience, placed later in the volume. It remains 
 to consider those matters in which the schedules of the different 
 companies differ one from the other. 
 
 These are as follows : 
 
 (1) The railways and railway companies to which the particular 
 
 schedule applies. 
 
 (2) The special conditions (if any) applicable to the traffic on 
 
 particular railways or particular parts of railways. 
 
 (3) The maximum rates and charges for goods and minerals 
 
 forming Part I. of Maximum Rates, the consideration of 
 which was omitted above. 
 
 The following is a list of the railway companies having schedules 
 of their own:

(Jill-: AT NORTHERN RAILWAY.

 It is not quite easy to see whether this short distance clause 
 applies to all classes of traffic, or only to classes A. and B. The 
 tart of the proviso occurring immediately after the rates applicable 
 to classes A. and B. , and forming a part of the Act headed ' ' in 
 respect of merchandise comprised in classes A. and B.," would seem 
 to point to the more restricted construction. On the other hand, 
 the proviso is in terms general, and it might well be considered 
 that the Legislature, in giving the railway company the larger rate 
 for classes A. and B., had thought that some concession ought to 
 be made to the public in return. And this view is strengthened by 
 the fact that in the London & North Western Eailway Company's 
 provisional order there occur two provisoes of a similar nature, the 
 ono (p. 272) relating to the Whitehaven Junction Eailway, specifi- 
 cally limited to classes A. and B., and the other (p. 274), though 
 occurring in a heading applicable to class A., specifically limited 
 to class A.

 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.

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.

 The Review includes : The discussion of current decisions of importance in the 
 Courts of this country, and (so far as practicable) of the Colonies, the United States. 
 British India, and other British Possessions where the Common Law is administered ; 
 the consideration of topics of proposed legislation before Parliament ; the treatment 
 of questions of immediate political and social interest in their legal aspect ; inquiries 
 into the history and antiquities of our own and other systems of law and legal institu- 
 tions. Endeavour is also made to take account of the legal science and legislation of 
 Continental States in so far as they bear on general jurisprudence, or may throw light 
 by comparison upon problems of English or American legislation. The current legjil 
 literature of our own country receives careful attention ; and works of serious import- 
 ance, both English and foreign, are occasionally discussed at length.

 particular Act of Parliament. Those who wish to know what Acts are in force with 
 reference to a particular subject turn to that head in ' Chitty,' and at once find all the 
 material of which they are in quest. Moreover, they are, at the same time, referred 
 to the most important cases which throw light on the subject." Law Journal.
