NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 265, FOOD AND DRUGS ACT.
ADULTERATION OF MILK.
On or about February 12, 1910, Washington B. Chichester, of?
Derwood, Md., sold and delivered at the Union Station, Washington,?
D. C, a quantity of milk. Dr. William C. Woodward, health officer?
of the District of Columbia, acting by authority of the Secretary of?
Agriculture, caused a sample from the above delivery to be procured?
and analyzed. As the findings of the analyst and report made indi??
cated that the milk was adulterated within the meaning of the Food?
and Drugs Act of June 30, 1906, the said Washington B. Chichester?
was afforded an opportunity for hearing, and as it appeared after the?
hearing was held that the sale was in violation of the said act, the?
said health officer reported the facts to the United States attorney?
for the District of Columbia.
In due course a criminal information was filed against the said?
Washington B. Chichester in the Police Court of the District of?
Columbia, charging that the milk was adulterated, in that a substance,?
water, had been mixed with it so as to reduce and lower its quality.?
On March 9, 1910, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the infor??
mation, and the court imposed a fine of $10.
This notice is given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs
Act of June 30, 1906.

Secretary of Agriculture.?
