                Every porter for a single payment in respect of each trip or article carried, on being engaged by the person having control of luggage intended to be despatched by train or placed in the Parcels Office, shall forthwith take such luggage from the vehicle by which it was brought to the station, or from the person engaging him, as the case may require, and place the same in the railway carriage or on such part of the station as his employer may indicate, or take such luggage to the luggage office or cloak room if so directed by such employer, subject, nevertheless, so far as regards luggage intended to be despatched by train, to the following proviso — that is to say, if the luggage is intended to be carried in the luggage van of any train, or if the luggage is not of a kind, or is in quantity in excess of that permitted to be carried free by the passenger or passengers concerned, having regard to the class and train by which such passenger or passengers propose to travel, the porter shall take such luggage into the place appointed and hand the same over to the proper officer of the Commissioner to be dealt with by such officer. If any such luggage, after being weighed or checked and the charges or excess fare (if any) paid, is intended to be carried in the carriage with a passenger, the porter, if the proper officer sanction his doing so, shall without claim for further fee or payment, at the request of his employer, place the same in the carriage selected, or on such part of the station indicated by the employer.

                Save as in this clause expressly provided, no porter shall further or otherwise interfere with or handle any luggage that may be intended to be conveyed in a luggage van.
