and for the hire of the sacks unless previonsly paid. In the event of 

 his i-efnsal or objection to pay tlie same, the Company will hold the 

 consignor or hirer responsible for all amounts of dcmui-ragc and hire 

 due and unpaid up to the date of delivery to the consignee. The 

 Great Northern Railway Company therefore recommend the hirers of 

 their sacks to have a clear understanding with the purchaser of the 

 grain at the time of sale as to the charges incurred for the use of 

 such sacks, and to obtain a distinct undertaking for payment of such 

 charges. 



8. Consignees and others receiving grain in the Company's sacks, 

 must sign the Full Sack Eeceipt Book, and will be charged demurrage 

 for the sacks at the rate of one halfpenny per sack per week for any 

 period they may detain the sacks beyond that charged for upon the 

 grain by the sending station. 



9. In charging for demurrage, parts of a week will be charged as one 

 week. Sundays will not be charged for in calculating any period under

 other company, but must in all cases be returned to the same station 

 from which they were received. If this regulation is infringed, one 

 penny per sach per week will be charged. This rule will not apply
