rnanded, but he refused to pay it, and subsequently
offered 3d. It appeared that the double ticket to
the Crystal Palace and back was 9d., and as he had
already paid that. sum he thought they could not
demand more than the additional 3d.
The defendant admitted that he was told on th
15th that the return ticket would not be availabl •
on the next day, and said that was after he had
purchased it, and he did not think the collector was
an authority. It was only but fair for him to expect
that a reasonable time would bo allowed for him to
return.

Mr. Ingham inquired if there were any trains re-
turning after the time the ticket bad been issued.
Mr. Auscomb said therewere several. The defen-
dant bad an opportunity of going to the Crystal
Palace station, stopping there three hours, and then
to return the same night to Battersea.
The defendant said at other railways return
tickets were available the next day, and he was not
to know they did not adopt the same principle on
the Crystal Palace line. However, if that was not
allowed, he thought it was against all principles of
right and justice that he should bo charged an ad-
ditional sixpence when the single fares there and
back amounted to only one shilling.
Mr. Ingham said the ticket was dated the 15tb,
clearly showing that it was only available for that
day. As to reasonable tim3 being allowed, there
might be no end to people's fancies. Some might
think their whole lifetime a reasonable period, and
so on. However, apart from all philosophical view's
of the matter, he thought there had been an at-
tempt to defraud the company. He fined him 20s.
and costs, which were paid.

WOOLWICEL—Andrew Berncastle, captain
and owner of the yacht Albatross, John Thomas
Olney, gentleman, of 54, Watling street, City, and
James Barber and James M`Laughlin, seamen,
were charged with conveying spirits on shore, liable
to seizure, and also having a large quantity of
spirits, cigars, and tobacco on board the yacht.
The Albatross arrived in the river off Erith on
Friday from Rotterdam, and on Capt. Berucastle.
coming on shore, Mr. lorry, the chief officer of the
Coast Guard at that station, asked what stock ho
had on board the yacht, to which he replied—about
two dozen bottles of brandy. a few cigars, and a
small quantity of tobacco.. The yacht was after-
wards searched, Captain Berncastle holding up the
lid of a locker for that purpose, and the searcher
being satisfied left the vessel. Shortly afterwards
Captain Berncastle and the defendant Olney were
observed coming on shore carrying a carpet bag
and portmanteau, which, on their being stopped,
were found to contain three bottles of spirits and
a bottle and a half of brandy. This led to a further
overhaul of the yacht and the discovery of about 70
bottles of spirits, four boxes of cigars weighing
161b5., and 81bs. of tobacco, upon which the yacht
was seized, and the defendants taken into custody.
After hearing this evidence on Saturday, and
the defence of Olney, that ho was merely a passen-
ger, and that the spirits they carried on shore were
intended as presents to friends,
Mr. Traill declined convicting for the lesser of-
fence, and

Captain Baker, commander of the Coast Guard
service at Gravesend, now stated that it was not
intended to prosecute.

Mr. Seeker said that be bad no power to act,
and the defendants must be discharged.
