Bicycles as baggage.

There has been a test case in the
English courts on question which Is
agitating cyclists all around the world,
more or less. 1t was brought in the
Queens Bench division against the
Great Northern Railway Company "on
behalf of one Britten," seeking Ito
recover sixpence paid for the convey
ance of a bicycle from Kings Cross to
East Finchley." And after hearing and
argument the court decided that the
plaintiff could not recover for the rea-
son that "a bicycle cannot be ordinary
luggage within the definition"
The special interest attaching to this
case is found I'm the fact that the attor-
ney for the plaintiff made his argument
on the very lines on which similar
claims are based i'm this country. He
claimed that bicycle came clearly
within the definition OF personal lug
gage" for the reason that IL was car
ried by the traveller for his own per-
sonal convenience and use in connec-
tion with his journey. and was an arti-
Gle such as was ordinarily carried for
that purpose. But his Lordship, in rem
dering his decision, brushed away all
such considerations by declaring that

black also. and this is supposed to
make them exceedingly charming.

his forefathers were coerced to do,

A man causes some talk by DESERVING
