Report on Ordinance No. 43................ of 190 2 .
I have examined the accompanying Ordinance, entitled
An Ordinance to authorize the making of Eye-laws by
the
Star
Berry Company Limited
and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to
T2
the Governor's Instructions.
The chief object of the Bill is to provide a summary method of punishment for persons who practise frauds out the Company by travelling hy a higher class than the one to which their ticket entitles them-an offence in respect of which it is doubtful if any proceedings of a criminal nature can be instituted.
The Bill is also intended to provide a means by which the Company can regulate the traffic for the public benefit as is customary with similar Companies in England.
