SUNDAY. TRAVELLING.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING HERALD.
Sir,—l have only this instant noticed in your pub'
lication of the 16th instant an article, copied from the
Glasgow Scottish Reformers Gazette, headed "
fusal of the Scottish Central Railway Company, to
convey the Duchess of Sutherland to her dying
father, the Earl of Carlisle," in which, after detailing
several particulars relative to her Grace's journei,
from the north, her arrival at the Perth station, and
disappointment at being told that the railway wasclosea
against carrying passengers on Sunday, the following
sentence occurs :—" The secretary was immediately'
communicated with, and the sorrowing circuur
stances which compelled her Grace's attendance et-
Castle Howard. The train was delayed for a short
time in order to have a final answer from the secre'
tary, but the reply was, • No; the rules of the cool'
pany cannot be departed from.' "
Now it so happens, that with the exception of the
stopping of the train, not one word of this is true.
was not communicated with, and consequently coo
send no answer ; nor did I hear anything whatever,
on the Sunday of the occurrence referred to,
several hours after the departure, both of the train
and of her Grace, in different directions, when, for
the first time, I also learned the very pressing natur°,
of her Grace's journey, not having received intiter
tion till then that there was the slightest specialty ill
the case.
On the morning of Saturday, between nine and
ten o'clock, when accidentally at the station, I
informed, through a second hand, that her Grace bit!
sent to inquire if she could be carried forward by tPs
mail train on the following day. To the question Ire
plied, that being precluded by a vote of the 005
holders from carrying passengers on Sunday, it wools
impossible to comply with her Grace's wishes, t'it,
inquiring party answering that the Duchess would
that case proceed by the Edinburgh and Northern
train, advertised to carry passengers on SundOil
and which starts 40 minutes before the Central
letter
train, or perhaps wait till the following day. iter
messenger did not call upon me. I received no
upon the subject.
I am sure every one connected with the railway
would have been ready to facilitate her Grace's :I°"ceo
ney by every possible means had the circumetsll,
attending it been made known to them; but ne csooc
did man will blame the parties complained of for _Po
doing what in ordinary cases they had no poyfeirati
do, nor yet for declining to incur the respuno°
of making a special exception in favour of her Gr,,b
ignorant as they were of those facts of the case ii'";%
constituted the elements of its specialty, and ee_',so„.
there were twenty-four hours to make other arre.P./0
ments and other means of accomplishing the 014
with equal speed.
