NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 529, FOOD AND DRUGS ACT.
ADULTERATION  OF CLOVES.
On or about May 24, 1910, John Clarke, New York City, delivered?
forty-eight bales of cloves to the Old Dominion Steamship Company?
for shipment from the State of New York to the State of Ohio.
Analysis of samples of this product made by the Bureau of?
Chemistry, United States Department of Agriculture, showed it to?
be adulterated within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act of?
June 30, 1906. As it appeared from the findings of the analyst and?
report made that the said shipment was liable to seizure under sec??
tion 10 of the act, the Secretary of Agriculture reported the facts to?
the United States attorney for the Southern District of New York.?
In due course a libel was filed in the District Court of the United?
States for said district against the said forty-eight bales of cloves,?
charging the above shipment and alleging the product so shipped to?
be adulterated, in that a part of a valuable constituent thereof, to wit,?
oil of clove, had been abstracted therefrom, and in that said cloves?
were colored, coated, and stained in a manner whereby damage to?
and inferiority of the same were concealed, and praying seizure and?
condemnation of the product.
On June 14, 1910, a judgment by default was taken against the?
said forty-eight bales of cloves, and on June 18, 1910, the court being?
fully informed in the premises, rendered a final decree condemning?
and forfeiting said product to the United States and ordering the?
destruction thereof by the marshal of said district.
This notice is given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs
Act of June 30, 1906.

Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
