RIGHTs OF RAILROAD PAssENGERs.-1he
rights of passengers on railways IN reference
to tickets and baggage, are of such interest
that it lie well to know the result of some
very recent decisions in Canadian Courts
upon the matter. 4 gentleman, travelling
on frst-class passenger ticket on the Great
Western Railway, from Chatham to Toronto,
had travelling bag, which be took with
him into the car, not having offered it to be
checked, not having been asked to do so. or
TO give 1t in charge Of any official At the
London station, where the train stopped for
refreshments, he left it on his seat in the
car, IN order to retain his place, aud Oh his
return from the reireshment room il WAS
gone. The Court of Queens Bench decided
that the Company was liable for the value
OF the bag, although it was not checked.
The system OF checking was introduced Tor
the benefit Of the railway companies. and
not for that Of the passengers.
In another case a gentleman purchased
from the same railway ticket from Buffalo
to Detroit, marked good only for twenty
days from date" He took the afternoon
accommodation train at Suspension Bridge,
which ran only as lar as London; but he
left it at St. Csthsrines, an intermediates sta
ton, and the agent Of the Company refused
70 let him 20 on from that place by the
night express. IL has been decided by the
Court of Queens Bench that the Company
was justified IN this refusal and that the
ticket did not amount to contract confer
ing on the holder right to stop at every or
any intermediate station, though within the
limited twenty days-Defron Tribune
