The rights Of passengers on Railways in
reference to tickets and baggage, are Of
such interest that it is well to know the re-
suits Of some recent decisions in Canadian
courts upon the matter. A gentleman
travelling on first-class passenger ticket
on the Great Western Railway, from Chat
ham to Toronto, had travelling bag which
he took with him into the car, not having
offered II to be checked, nor having been
asked so to do, or give it 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 seat, and on his return from tho re-
freshment room, it was gone. Tho Court
of Queens Bench decided that the comps-
ny was liable for the value OF the bag.
although it was not 1becked. The system
of checking was introduced for the benefit
of the railway companies, and not for that
of the passengers.
In another case, q gentleman purchased
from the same railway, ticket from Buff
falo to Detroit, marked, .good only for
twenty days from date" He took the
afternoon accommodation train, which ran
only as far rs London; but no left il at st.
GATHERINGS, an intermediate station, and
tho Agent Of the company refused TO lev
him 60 on from that place by tho night eI-
press. 1t has been decided by the court
Of Queens Bench that the company was
justified in this refusal; and that the tick
ct did not amount TO contract concerning
on the holder = right TO stop ct every or
any intermediate station, though within
the limited twenty days.

The timber should be dry, as green timber

the oil does not get hotter than the boiling
heat, in order that the timber be not burnt.

and most interesting discovery, however. in

in determining the best point to commence
