 Johnsons, Ltd., which has a capital of 

 £50,000, divided into 50,000 shares of 

 £1 each. According to the prospectus, 

 this company was- formed for the pur- 

 pose of acquiring the mushroom growing 

 and mushroom spawn manufacturing 

 business which has been carried on (for 

 a period of fifteen years) at, originally. 

 Hanger-lane, W., and later at Twyford 

 Abbey, near Willesden, N. W. Since 

 then the directors have acquired an addi-

 registered with a nominal capital of £10,-

 resolution passed by the shareholders,

 London district of the French system of
