We the London and North-Western Railway Company do hereby make the following Bye-Laws:—

3. Each Passenger not producing or delivering up his Ticket will be required to pay the Fare from the place whence the Train originally started.

4. Passengers on the Road Stations will only be Booked conditionally; that is to say, in case there shall be room in the Train for which they are Booked. In case there shall not be room for all the Passengers Booked, those Booked for the longest distance shall have the preference, and those Booked for the same distance shall have priority according to the order in which they are Booked.

5.

Every person Smoking in a Carriage is hereby subjected to a Penalty not exceeding Forty Shillings; and every person persisting in smoking in a Carriage or Station after having been warned to desist shall, in addition to incurring a Penalty not exceeding Forty Shillings, be immediately, or, if travelling, at the first opportunity, removed from the Company’s Premises and forfeit his Fare.

9. Any person found in a Carriage or Station in a state of Intoxication, or committing any Nuisance or wilfully interfering with the comfort of other Passengers, and every person obstructing any Officer of the Company in the discharge of his duty, is hereby subjected to a Penalty not exceeding Forty Shillings, and shall immediately, or, if travelling, at the first opportunity, be removed from the Company’s Premises, and forfeit his Fare.
