The shareholders of the South Midland Railway Company are in.

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.

Huntingdon.

will form a portion of the consolidated capital (the remainder being

mentary deeds executed.
