Ir contended tliat the bye-law nnder which these proceedings were taken was void on grouiidb. 1n the firllt pJac it was a perwm ought to be able to deal with the return halt tus ticket in fHiy way which woutd not be frau.d- \}lent, (lnd ill this case there was no fraud In the second place it was void bectuse it made a perfectly innocent act an offence to which a penalty was attached.

The magistrates their decision in this case unti) they had heard the other. David WiUiiiniswas then charged with attempting to travel from Carnarvon to Man- cheater with the returuhatf of M. ticket trans- ferred to him by the other defendant. Mr FENNA said that when Williams pre- tented the ticket to the collector at Cainai-yon, the collector Baid that it was not available, as the date which it covered had expired en the previou* day. This however was a mistake on the part of the collector, as the ticket was avail- abieforth&tdtt'.

In this letter, said, t took a week. end ticket from Manchester to CarDat't'on, but it was untrue that the ticket was ever taken by him, and it was only out of consideration for Mr William* that he (Mr Fenna) did not prefer a rraTer oharge aainst the defendant. The same witneses as before wxre caHed. The Collector ROBERTS said that when Wil- IMUM. upon his return from Manchester, catted hie attention to the mietake made at to the ticket, he (Roberts) suggested to him that he fthoald apply to have the money refunded. Detect PKRKtNS related a conversation which he had had with the defendant, who informed h.<a that he was at .\)ancheatcr on the iMth December, and that the ticket was issued to him.
