Mr. b. b. GriaaeH doing business at - Broad
way and residing at No. I Morris st. Jersey City,
has submitted TO written statement of his grev-
anccs ON the line of Railroad through New Jersey,
which we are obliged to condense as follows:
On the 10th inst. he took passage at Philadelphia
Tor this City at the office of the Camden 4 Amboy
Railroad, paying their regular fare l>2l TO New.
Brunswick. which is the full length of their road
A, Brunswick, he stepped into the Railroad office
and rendered the regular fare by that train as cents)
over the Ncw.Jersey Railroad "a different conccrn) to
this Cy,he fare by the usual trains being but 80
Having been asked and having declined state where
he come from his money refused and no ckei civ
en- him. but he directed 10 obtain in the cars
lie took his accordingly; the train started and
soon the conductor came round for his ticket Mr. G
told him he had none he che conduotor) must be
aware he had heard the conversation IN the Office
The conductor took the sereiyfr pockctcd il
and wen, collecting his tickets. When he had finish
ed he came back to Mr.. q. and renewed his former dc
mand for - being double any regular charge
this Railroad and treble the usual charge Refusing
10 pay this demand Mr.. &. was ordered to leave the
cars when they stopped Railway and refusing he was
put out by the conductor declining TO make any resis
lance. The conductor then offered him his IS cent.

hem on the ground. Mr. G coniempa,es an appeal 10
the laws the legality OF this orcibe ecctrnen,
after he had paid his regular fare for the passage
No blame is attributable the conductor in the pre-.
misses he doubtless acted in precise accordance with
hs orders tu, il does that the Railroad Company
has put itself clearly in the wrong II such Company
adveriises TO take passengers specified rate if only
by haMualy doing doubt its legal righ, to eject
from it, any decent person who proers thar sum
but having taken the money here no loop 10
hang doubt upon-lhe Company has entered into a
contract and must fulfil the consequences Of
Republication.
The gst OF the lies here The distinct but ssso.
cis,cd Companies charge g. for passage through from
Newly ork Philadelphia but carry passengers on their
several routes for s2 and Is rcspcctvely-in all
- ~ Has either OF them right then. to refuse to
carry man al is regular charge because be has lust
been carried the other Road and paid rs regular
charge We think not. IT. for instance we chose to
sen 80 copies OF paper for 20 but charged 81 p
for 100 copies would we have right refuse man or
boy 70 al our regular charge the ground that he had
jus, had 80, and WAS cvadng tariff Of priest We
way for Us but 10 make prices equal and us,
Mr. Grinnc also complains that he is charged 50cen,s
extra for his trunk a the baggage be has because il
weighs ~ - lbs while heavier trunks pass without
extra charge The distinction IS made understand
pa the ground that his trunk Is supposed 10 contain
rhandizc. not travelling cqUipsgc We presume this
charge UNSUITABLE the trunk exceeds the weight Of
baggage allowed to each passenger without extra charge
