Goods Freight.
Live animals, agricultural produce of all kinds, and firewood, 4s. per truck.
Minerals, bricks, clay, sand, and coal, 1s. per ton. Anything under 3 tons to be charged as merchandise.
Timber, per 100 feet, 3d.
Merchandise of every other class, 2s. 6d. per ton.
Directions similar to the above, for each section of railway, would be all that is required to take the place of the present cumbrous and incomprehensible tariff; which I maintain is not only unnecessary, but intensely mischievous.
