WORSHIP-STREET.
♦ DISPUTID CAS' OP RAILWAY PAIL

Mr. Henry Buslthrook and Ana ((hie wife) wen chimed,
on summonses, with having ualawfally neglect=
refused to pay the sum of 5a each, the amount of their
lawful fare by a second-class carriage on the North London
line of railway.
John Alocek, inspector of polim on the line mentioned,
raid that proceedings ware taken, not under the bye-laws of
the company, but under the provisions of the 103rd section
of the Railway Clauses Cossolilation dot, Bth Vint.,
esp. 20, which seta forth that—" Any person travelling
or attempting to travel in any carriage on a railway without
baring prerionaly paid his fare, end with intent to avoid
payment thereof, shall forfeit any sum not exceeding 405.,
and any person discovered committing or after committing
Inch offence may be apprehended without a warrant."
It appeared upon the evidence given by the company's
servants that, on the 31st of May Let, defendant. arrived
at the Hackneyetation per train from Epsom, and inquired
where they could pay their fare as they bad not taken
tickets at Epsom, and were informed that in point of fact
they should not have journeyed by such train as it was for
the accommodation of those persons mil, who bad gone to
Epsom by it. The proper fare of ss. each was then re-
quired of them, it was refused, and the present proceedinp
taken in consequence thereof.
The account of the matter given by' defendant, who is •
commercial traveller residing at 31, Wellington-street,
Mile-end, was that on the morning of the date in question
himself and wife travelled to Epsom by the South Eastern
line, the train running into the same station on the
Downs that received the trains of other companies, that
not having return tickets they required to porches others
when coming away, but could not see any office for such
sale, and some of the officials oo the platform telling them
to get into the train that wee about to start, that it was "all
right."and that the *specs* was no more than they bad
paid for 00111iIIII down (24. each) ; they cert•inly did think
all was right," and entered Deed the carriages of the train
having on it In printed characters the word. " North
London Railway." Had there been a ticket offlos assuredly
the unpleasantness of being summoned would not have
occurred, but he did think, and still thought, he could not
be compelled to pay the claim, nor was in any way amenable.
Win. Newell, guard of the train, maid that he had
tickets in his pocket for the return journey.
The magistrate presumed that there was not any posted
notice of that fact. How were persons to know what the
fare was and where tickets could be had if there wee not a
ticket office ? Clearly, from the absence of one, this dis-
pute had arisen, and the company bad better see that there
was one for the future. He should dinette the uremia..
The clime of the act specifies that there must be shows an
intent to defraud, and it certainly bad not been proved,

THE RAID. AND HIS CIGAR.

The Earl of WHickileas sad Nottinohast, of St. George's
Hotel, Albeinarlwatreet, was summoned by Mr. T. Best,

Mr. Crombie, the company's law clerk, attended is sap
port of the summons, which was made retureable at 11
o'clock, bat the noblesse] did Dot appear. He (Mr. Orom-
his), said he was afraid that the earl would not attend, from
a letter that he addressed to the eanpaay. He
then read the following letter :—" 32, Albemarle.
street, June 28, 1865.—Sir,—I demand the in-
stant dismissal of the station-master named Atter,
at your Vauxhall station, who has had the effrontery to
apply for • summons (involving a breech of privilege)
against me at the Wandsworth beech, for what he has
the impudence to term smoking contrary tor bye law.
I beg you to observe that the pie*, of impu you s
involves
a bleach of the privileges of the House of Lords, and
that you, the chairman of the company, shall be
held responsible for it,—Wiechilase and Nottingham."
He (Mr. Crombie) should have thought that the earl ea •
legislator would have known what the powers of the magi.
trate were,

I Mr. Lyman—He doal state what the breach of privi-
Veronibie—He is liable to be witurnoned as any other
individual in the realm.

After waiting till nearly 12 o'clock the magistrate
thought the time bad expired, for it was probable that the
earl would not attend eftsr the letter.

Mr. Crombie applied for a seoond summons, and for it
to be marked peremptory.
Ultimately a second summons was granted, and Mr.
Crtenbis mid it would be bettor for the secretary of the
company to writs to the earl as be had addressed the
chairman.
