The shareholders of the South Midland Railway Company are in
formed that arrangements have been made by the Committee of
Management with the Board of Directors of the Midland Railway
Company for carrying out the original South Midland line with the
important additions of a line to Bedford and a branch to Huntingdon,
the whole being consolidated in one undertaking, and placed under
the management of a joint Board of Direction composed of members
of the Boards of the two Companies.
The objects, therefore, embraced by the present undertaking are-
1. A direct line from Leicester by way of Market Harborough to
Northampton, being : he original South Midland
2. A line diverging therefrom at Market Harborough, and passing
by way of Kettering to Bedford ; and
3. A branch from the last-mentioned line, at or near Kettering, to
Huntingdon.
The capital at present belonging to the South Midland Company
will form a portion of the consolidated capital (the remainder being
contributed by the Midland Railway Company), and in order to com-
ply with the Standing Orders of the House of Lords, as recently
altered, it is necessary that the deposit of It. 2s. already paid on the
South Midland shares should be increased to 21. 2s. It is also neces-
sary that the scrip should be called in and re-issued, and new Parlia-
mentary deeds executed.
The shareholders in the South Midland Company are therefore re-
quired to pay, on or before the 25th day of October next, the further
sum of 1/. per share on the shares respectively held by them, and for
this purpose to deposit with the Secretary, at the Company's offices,
Leicester, the scrip now held by them, together with an application
for registry and exchange in the annexed form, on or before the 18th
day of October next.

The requisite order to one of the Company's bankers to receive the
increased deposit will be issued within three days after the registry
of the scrip, and ox the production of the bankers' receipt and the
execution of the new Parliamentary contract, the new scrip cer-
ificates will be issued.
All scrip in respect of which the shareholder 3 shall fail to take the
ne essary steps for payment of the required deposit within the
specified period will be forfeited.
Forms 'f application for registry and exehange of scrip may be ob-
tained by applying to the Secretary, at the Company's
