First class passengers will be allowed ten per cent. for the stuffing of
all carriages, except the one immediately next the engine, which will be charged as above. STOKERS. Same as engineers, but a very liberal allowance made to such as the trains have passed over more than once, and a considerable reduction if scalds are not included. _Exceptions_.--All who have five small children, and are only just appointed.

In consequence of these travellers being generally more thickly stowed together, the upper half of them have a chance of escape while crushing those underneath, so that a fair reduction, still leaving a living profit to the directors, may be made in their favour. Thus the terms proposed for effecting their policies will be ten-and-a-half per cent. under the first class. To meet the views of all parties, insurances may be effected from station to station, or on particular limbs. The following are the rates, the insurers paying down the premium at starting:-- £ s. d. First Class, leg ............................................ 1 11 6 Second ditto ditto .......................................... 1 7 9 First class, arm ............................................ 1 0 0 |
