NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 2327.
(Given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs Act.)
ADULTEEATION OF OYSTERS.
On November 11, 1912, the United States Attorney for the South- 
ern District of New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of 
Agriculture, filed in the District Court of the United States for said 
district a libel for the seizure and condemnation of three barrels and 
eight barrels of oysters, remaining unsold in the original unbroken 
packages and in possession, respectively, of George M. Still, New- 
York, N. Y., and the Merchants Steamboat Co., New York, N. Y., 
alleging that the product had been shipped, on or about November 7, 
1912, by O. Martin, Red Bank, N. J., and transported from the State 
of New Jersey into the State of New York, and charging adultera- 
tion in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The products bore no 
label.
Adulteration of the product was alleged in the libel for the reason 
that it consisted in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal 
substance.
On November 29, 1912, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture 
was entered and it was further ordered that the product should be 
destroyed by the United States marshal.
W. M. HATS, 
Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
