Travelling Without a Ticket.

Wm. Glossop, was charged with travelling in a M. S. & L. train without a ticket.

Horace Holmes deposed that he was a clerk, in the employ of the M. S. & L. railway, and was on duty at Conisbro’, on the arrival of the 11-53 train, and collected tickets. Asked the prisoner for his ticket, and he said he had not got one. Asked for his fare, and he would not pay anything. He then gave information to Mr. Barron, the station master.—
