Ey Co., 1 Nev. & Mac, 45, it ap- peared that defendant charged 45 pounds per year for season tickets from Colchester to London, a distance of twenty miles, while it charged for such tickets only 20 pounds per year from Harwich to London, a distance of over seventy miles. It was insisted that this was an undue preference of the inhabitants of Harwich over those of Colchester. The Court (on January 27, 1858) refused the rule. Williams,. Judge, said: "For anything that appears, there may be very g...ood reasons for making suck difference in the: price. * * * At this moment there is- active CO mjMition at Beading between the Great Western and - (17) SoutJiwestern Raihoays; the consequence is, that consid- erably less is charged for tickets from that place to London, and vice versa, than for intermediate stations; There is no such reason for the difference here, for there is but one line to Harwich, and consequently no compe- tition." " ■ This case also, decides that to charge local passengers a greater compensation in the aggregate for a shorter distance than is charged through passengers for a longer distance between competitive points, does not subject the local passengers "to any undue or unreasonable prej- udice in any respect Avhatever," notwithstanding the passengers, through as well as local, may travel over the same line, in the same trains, and in the same direc- tion.
