RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
IMPORTANT TO RAILWAY EXCURSIONISTS.-At the
Southwark County Court yesterday, Mr. Gay, who
was described as a gentleman of independent fortune,
sought to recover from the South-Western Railway
Company the sum of ss. The plaintiff stated that on
the 20th of July last he purchased a second-class re-
turn-ticket to Farnham and back. When he arrived
at Farnham the ticket was divided, and half of it
handed to him by one of the company's servants, to
be delivered at the termination of the journey. Un-
fortunately the ticket being so small he was unable to
find it on his arrival at the Waterloo station, when
the collector demanded ss. Bd., being the fare from
Farnham. Not being able to find his ticket he paid
the money, but when he got home he found the ticket
in his pocket. On the following morning he proceeded
to the railway station, and exhibited the ticket, at the
same time demanding his money back, but his request
was refused. Mr. Godson, the superintendent of the
Waterloo station, attended on behalf of the com-
pany, and contended that according to the bye-laws
of the company, which were publicly exposed at all
the stations, the defendant was liable to pay the fare.
The bye-law is as follows :—" Take notice, That no
return or allowance of money is made upon double-
journey tickets, under any circumstances." The
plaintiff being without a ticket was compelled to pay
the fare, and the company was not bound to return
the money, although the ticket was afterwards pro-
duced. Mr. Gay said the ticket was so small that he
could scarcely help missing it. His Honour said the
case was of considerable importance, but the question
was whether the plaintiff could recover, and under
what form of action. He could not say that it was
an express contract or an implied one. It was not
like a person buying an article and not being able to
produce his receipt, paying the money again. The
company's contract was to allow him to travel on
their line provided he produced the ticket which he
had paid for. He neglected to give his ticket, and
the company were entitled to demand the money.
He would willingly compel the company to return
the money, as he considered they ought to do,
common justice, but he could not. Mr. Godson in-
formed his Honour that the company were so greatly
imposed upon that they
were compelled to act strictly.
Mr. Clive—But you should inquire into the circum-
stances, and a little trouble would set things to
rights. lam very sorry that I cannot compel the
company to return the money, therefore I shall non-
suit the plaintiff.

MADRID AND VALENCIA RAILWAY.—Mr. Chad-
wick, the chairman of this company, not having ap-
peared in answer to the order of the Court of Chan-
cery, calling upon him to account for the sum of
25,000/., belonging to the funds of this company,
proved by evidence to have been applied by him in the
purchase of Great Western shares, and in which, at
the last meeting, the Master in Chancery (Blunt) de-
cided that the shareholders were prima facie entitled,
the Master has issued a peremptory order callingupon
all the directors to account, jointly and severally, for
the 106,0001. deposit money entrusted to them by the
shareholders. During the vacation and the close of
the Masters' offices, payment of calls and other pro-
cesses have been nearly suspended but, on the re-
sumption of business next month, they are likely to
come on heavily, the Masters, official managers, and
others considering that, consequent on the late deci-
sions of the Lords Commissioners on the law of lia-
bility, they have safe ground to go upon, though the
grand question as to whether the Insolvent Debtors'
Act can overule the powers of the Court of Chancery,
will have to be determined by an appeal to the House
of Lords.

LONDON AND DOVER DIRECT.—The promoters of
this measure announce that their engineer has com-
pleted his survey of this proposed line, preparatory to
giving the usual notice for application to Parliament.
FLORENCE AND LEGHORN RAILWAY.--After four
years' labour, the great tunnel through Mount Cari-
oso has been completed.

ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH KENT RAILWAY.--At
ten o'clock on Sunday night an accident occurred at
Stonecross-gate, by which, it is thought, one of the
company's servants will be rendered incapable for the
performance of further duties. It appears that the
man employed as gate-keeper was in the act of sig-
nalling All right" for the up-train, dueaitchthepatsismede
mentioned, and on crossing the rails was met by the
engine belonging to the down-train, which
over him, thereby fracturing his ribs, and frightfully
mutilating his right arm and leg. The unfortunate
man was conveyed to Guy's Hospital at an early hour
next morning, with little hopes of recovery.
