RAILWAY FIRES ACT 1905 - SECT 1

1.(1) When. ... damage is caused to agricultural land or to
agricultural crops, as in this Act defined, by fire arising from sparks or
cinders emitted from any locomotive engine used on a railway, the fact that
the engine was used under statutory powers shall not affect liability in an
action for such damage.

(2) Where any such damage has been caused through the use of an engine by one
company on a railway worked by another company, either company shall be liable
in such an action; but, if the action is brought against the company working
the railway, that company shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of
their liability by the company by whom the engine was used.

(3) This section shall not apply in the case of any action for damage unless
the claim for damage in the action does not exceed [two hundred pounds].
