Excerpt from A Manual of Railway Law

The following pages probably need no formal Preface. Written to form one of a series of books intended more for laymen than lawyers, the endeavour has been to state the law in language which is not technical, but at the same time precise, and which may be comprehended by all. The new Rates and Charges Provisional Orders, when they come into operation, will effect many altera tions as regards rates, terminals, and other matters, and it has been thought that the best way of dealing with them was to introduce in an Appendix the chief provisions of one of the Orders in extenso. Orders relating to other companies besides the N orth-western have been perused, and the principal points in which they vary from the one which first became law are noticed. It has, however, been found impossible to examine and compare the whole of those already confirmed by Parliament. Most of those relating to Ireland do not appear even to have passed. The author desires to express his best thanks to the learned Stipendiary Magistrate of Liverpool (mr. W. J. Stewart) for much assistance afforded to him, more especially in the preparation of the Introduction.
