WORKERS' TRAM TICKETS
MAGISTRATE DECIDES A POINT
• A point relating Io the use of workers’ tram tickets was decided' in a reserved judgment delivered by Mr. C. R. Orr-Walker, S.M., in the Magistrate’s Court vesterdav. The case was that of Francis Leonard Eden, who was charged with failing to pay his faro. Defendant, said the Magistrate, alleged that tho worker’s ticket he held entitled him to return m two sections. It was stated on tho ticket that it was issued subject to the tramway by-laws and regulations, and on reference to the regulations it had been found that the return journey was limited to the same sections as were travelled on in the morning. Defendant must be taken _to have known of this regulation, having travelled for years, as he said, on workers’ tickets. “It looks to me,” added the Magistrate, “ as if it was a ‘try-on’ by defendant, apparently emboldened by his previous successes.” A fine of £1 and costs was imposed.
