The laws, which corporations can make for their own government, are made under several heads of decisions of bodies of local authorities, decisions, rules, and instructions. These laws can be made by a management for any object not alien to the corporate purposes. The municipal corporation, for example, does decisions for clearing and illumination of its streets, for the government of its police, for water delivery to its citizens, and for punishment of all infringements of its instructions. The railway corporation establishes instructions for signals, for management of trains, for cargo communications, for behaviour of its passengers, and for hundreds other things. But such decisions of bodies of local authorities and the instruction should be in harmony with charter-party of corporation and with the general legislation of the country. For example, the municipal corporation could not put into practice the decision of bodies of the local authorities, forbidding use of its streets by others than its own citizens because according to the general law all highways are opened for usual use of all people. Again, the railway corporation could not make a rule, that it will bear the goods for one class of people only because as public transport the law demands that it bore impartially for all.
