Post-graduate training
Post-graduate training, the expression 'post-gradu-ate training' is used in Rule 49(c) in the sense of training received by a person holding a degree in medicine or science and not in the sense that such training ought to be received in or through a post-graduate institution imparting instruction or education in the particular discipline.

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.

Black mail
Black mail [fr. maille, Fr., a small piece of money], a certain rent of money, coin, or other thing, anciently paid to persons upon or near the borders, who were men of influence and allied with robbers and brigands, for protection from the devastations of the latter. It was in fact a species of insurance. This was rendered illegal by 43 Eliz. C. 13. The same practice prevailed in Scotland, where it was also illegal. Also rent paid in cattle, otherwise called neat-gild; and all rents not paid in silver are called reditus nigri (black mail or rents), by way of distinction from reditus albi (blanch-firmes, or white-rents).But the term is used in modern times to signify extortion of money by threatening letters or threats to accuse of crime--an offence punishable, if the crime is punishable, by death or penal servitude for not less than seven years, or be an attempt at rape, or be an 'infamous crime,' i.e., sodomy, etc., by penal servitude for life, and in the case of a male under sixteen...
