May 3, 13.-James and others v. The Taff Vale Railway Company and The Great Western Railway Company. Passenger traffic-Continuous line of railway-Forwarding traffic-Railway and Canal Traffic Act, 1851, s. 2. Two railway companies ran trains to C. and each had a station there. The stations were fifty-five chains apart from each other, but were connected by a line of railway belonging to one of such railway companies. Upon complaint by the inhabitants of the district that no passengers were conveyed on the railway between the two stations, although there was a continuous line of railway, the Commissioners made an order enjoining both the companies to afford a continuous communication for passengers by means of their continuous lines, and to afford due and reasonable facilities for forwarding through passenger traffic arriving by one of the lines at C. by the other. This was an application by certain inhabitants of Merthyr Tydfil under the 2nd section of the Railway and Canal Traffic Act, 1854, for the purpose of obtaining due facilities from the Taff Vale and Great Western Railway Companies for forwarding passenger traffic between places situated on their lines of railway. The Great Western Company and the Taff Vale Company had each a station at Cardiff, in the county of Glamorgan. The stations were fifty-five chains apart, and were connected by a continuous line of railway made by the Great Western Railway Company under 14 & 15 Vict. c. liii. Such line of railway was used for the transit of goods only from places on the one company's line to places on the other company's line, and consequently passengers had to walk or drive between the two stations. William Evans appeared for the applicants. Pope, Q.C., and Sutton, for the Taff Vale Railway Com pany. Webster, Q.C., and R. S. Wright, for the Great Western Railway Company. The COMMISSIONERS delivered the following judgment :This is a complaint that the Great Western Railway Company and the Taff Vale Railway Company do not inter change passenger traffic at Cardiff with all due and reasonable facilities. The Great Western and Taff Vale Railways cross at Cardiff, and traffic is able to pass from one railway to the other by a junction line belonging to the Great Western Company, and constructed under the powers of the "South Wales Railway New Works Act, 1851." This line commences by a junction with the Great Western Railway at a point about eighteen chains from the Great Western (Cardiff) station, is fifteen chains in length, and ends by a junction with the Taff Vale Railway at a point twenty-two chains from the Taff Vale (Cardiff) station at Crockherbtown, the distance the two stations are apart being about fifty-five chains. The junction line, however, is not used for passenger traffic, and a passenger, part of whose route is Taff Vale and part Great Western, has to go across by road from the station of one company at Cardiff to the station of the other. The applicants who reside at Merthyr, and travel frequently between Merthyr and London through Cardiff, complain of it as a public inconvenience that there is no other service for the transfer of passengers at Cardiff. They observe that the railways of the two companies form a continuous line of communication, and that the distance between their stations at Cardiff does not exceed one mile, and they ask for the enforcements of their rights, under the Traffic Act, 1854, and for an order granting the public reasonable accommodation. The 2nd section of the Traffic Act provides, amongst other things, that every railway company having or working railways which form part of a continuous line of railway accommodation, or which have the terminus or station of the one near the terminus or station of the other, shall afford all due and reasonable facilities for receiving and forwarding all the traffic arriving by one of such railways by the other without any unreasonable delay, and so that no obstruction may be offered to the public desirous of using such railways as a continuous line of communication, and so that all reasonable accommodation may, by means of the railways of the several companies, be at all times afforded to the public in that behalf. As to when a station or terminus shall be deemed to be near another station or terminus, the Act provides that it shall be deemed to be so when the distance between such Reported by W. H. MACNAMARA, Esq., Barrister-at-Law. stations shall not exceed one mile. That it causes great inconvenience to a large population that there is no throughcommunication by the loop line is admitted, and it appears by the answers of the two companies that negotiations have long been pending between them for the Taff Company to work over the loop line and to use the Great Western station.. As yet, however, they have not been able to agree upon the terms, and if the public cannot have the accommodation to which the Act entitles them by means of an arrangement between the companies, they can only ask that the general powers of railway companies to grant facilities to traffic shall be exercised as far as necessary. The responsibility for the working of a line rests primarily with the company who are the owners of it, and were each company to work its own lines in this case, the place at which one would deliver, and the other would receive, through traffic requiring to be forwarded, would be the junction of the loop line with the Taff Vale Railway. But that line has no sidings, and there are no sheds or platforms at the junction, and passengers could not be set down and taken up at a point where there was no provision of that kind for their transfer. It is the opinion also of Mr. Grierson and of Mr. Fisher, representing the two companies, that traffic by the loop line between their stations ought to be worked through by a single company, and that an exchange at the junction would be dangerous. The Great Western station at Cardiff is situated between the Taff Vale Railway and the Penarth Railway, of which the Taff Company are lessees, and by an agreement dated the 23rd of October, 1876, the Great Western Company have given the Taff Company running powers, and the use of their Cardiff station for passenger traffic between Cardiff and Penarth. These powers, however, do not apply to traffic between the Great Western and the Taff Vale Railways, nor does such interchange traffic, which would be the particular kind of traffic to which the present complain has reference, come any more-so we understand the two companies to say within the scope of another agreement, dated the 24th of April, 1866, under which the Taff Company have permission to run their engines and trains, with their own local traffic, over the loop line in conjunction with other parts of the Great Western system. But these agreements are sufficient to show that the relative position of the lines of the two companies at Cardiff makes it, as far as the exercise of running powers is concerned, more natural or convenient that the Taff Company should work over the Great Western, than the Great Western Company over the Taff Vale, and so we find also the negotiations to which we have referred as so long pending, to contemplate the Taff Company using the Great Western stations and running over the Great Western line with passenger-trains to and from their own station at Crockherbtown to connect with Great Western main-line trains, and to have had for their object to fix the terms and the extent of the user. The distance between the two stations at Cardiff does not, as already stated, exceed one mile, and over this distance there is a continuous railway communication which the Taff Vale Company is entitled to use upon payment of tolls under section 92 of the Railway Clauses Act, 1845, which is incorporated with the "South Wales Railway New Works Act, 1851," and with the South Wales Railway Consolidation Act, 1855, which repeals earlier Acts, including the "New Works" Act, 1851, but makes "The Taff Vale Railway Junction,' as it calls the railway between the South Wales main line and the Taff Vale Railway at Cardiff, part of the undertaking to which its provisions apply. The Traffic Act, 1854, provides that where there are two railways which have stations as near as the stations at Cardiff are, the companies having the railways shall give all reasonable facilities for a through service, and as far as circumstances will allow and the powers of each company go, combine the working of their railways for the accommodation of the public. It appears to us in this case to be a reasonable thing, so long as the required accommodation is not given in any other way, that the Taff Vale Company should exercise the statutory powers they possess to convey by their own engines and carriages passenger traffic to and from the Great Western passenger stations at Cardiff, paying toll for the use of the railway, and carrying all passengers willing to pay them any special transit charge of reasonable amount they might make, and that the Great Western Company should afford all reasonable and proper facilities and conveniences for the Taff Vale trains to pass into and out of their station, and to receive and deliver passengers and their luggage in the station, and should give the aid of their staff for the arrival and departure of Taff Vale passengers, and for the working the junctions at the Great Western end of the loop line. We think not less than four of such trains should run each way on week days, and that their trains should be so arranged as to give the Taff Vale main line trains a connection with the Great Western main line trains. The toll it would be lawful for the Great Western Company to demand appears to be regulated by the South Wales Railway Consolidation Act, 1855, which fixes the toll per passenger at a sum not exceeding twopence per mile, and authorizes a charge to be made as for six miles where a passenger is conveyed a shorter distance. These are wide toll limits, and the toll the Great Western Company could charge the Taff Company under them would, we think, be fully sufficient to remunerate the Great Western for any trouble or expense they might be put to, and with this provision in favour of that company, and the qualification as to the passengers the Taff Company would be under obligation to carry, the requiring that, if the companies should not have recourse to other means for that purpose, the means that have been mentioned for facilitating traffic should be afforded, involves nothing that is incompatible with the fair interests of either company. But in showing that it is practicable for the two railways to be worked as a continuous line, merely by each company exercising its separate powers for the benefit of the public, we do not wish or intend to impose that or any particular mode of working on the companies. The train service, for instance, that was contemplated in the agreement the companies proposed to enter into in the early part of this year would have been perfectly satisfactory, and they are free under the Traffic Act, as they may think it in their common interests, to set aside any particular way of giving accommodation such as that to which we have referred as being in their power, and to adopt instead any other way of not less effect which they may prefer. We are, however, of opinion that at present through passenger traffic, arriving by one of the main lines at Cardiff, is not afforded due and reasonable facilities for being forwarded by the other, and that the applicants have established their claim to have an order made by us in the terms of that part of section 2 of the Act of 1854 under which their application comes. The applicants are granted costs, and we think the measures to be taken to afford the necessary facilities should be in operation within one month from this day.

The At a pension held on July 4, his Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught was called to the bench of the Hon. Society of Gray's-inn. A well-known Wisconsin lawyer, says the Western Jurist, against whom Matthew Carpenter was once trying a case, persisted in asking his witness leading questions. Carpenter dryly suggested whether it would not contribute to the orderly administration of justice if his friend would at least filter the evidence through the witness. On the 23rd alt. the Queen's Bench Division took cases in the Crown Paper. When the first case reported was called on, it appeared that the copies of the "special case," required by the rules to be sent to the judges, had not been received; and the solicitor for the appellant being called upon to account for it, stated that he had left them at the Central Office with one of the clerks, whom he named, but who, it appeared, had not conveyed them to the judges. The clerk, who had been sent for,rrived, and was interrogated by Lord Coleridge. He admitted receiving the papers, but said there was some confusion at the office. Lord Coleridge said, "Confusion at the TUESDAY, July 5, 1881. Under the Bankruptcy Act, 1869. office!
