Cheap trains
Cheap trains. Early in the history of railways the companies were compelled by the (English) Railway Regulation Act, 1844 (7 & 8 Vict. c. 85), sometimes called the Cheap Train Act, to run one train a day at a penny a mile fare; in respect of which trains (ss. 6, 7) termed 'parliamentary trains,' or 'Government trains,' the companies were exempt from the passenger duty otherwise charge-able. Disputes arising between the companies and the Government as to the extent of this exemption, the (English) Cheap Trains Act, 1883 (46 & 47 Vict. c. 34), abolished the duty altogether on all fares not exceeding one penny per mile and empowered he board of Trade to require any company to provide proper accommodation at such fares, and also reasonable accommodation for workmen going to and returning from their work.

Limited liability
Limited liability. At Common Law every person is liable, upon his contracts, up to the whole amount of his estate, and every partner is so liable upon all the contracts of the partnership. So extensive a liability being apt to prevent persons from engaging in business as partners, the statutes authorizing the construction of railways, etc., have always limited the liability of each shareholder to the amount of the shares held by him. Similar limitations, extending in some cases to double the amount of shares held, have also long been found (though not universally) in the charters of incorporated banks and insurance companies.Companies Acts.--Under the Companies Acts, limited liability means that the members are not liable beyond the unpaid-up part (if any) of the nominal amount of the shares in respect of which they are registered in the books of the company.
