NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 2412.
(Given pursuant to section 4 of the Pood and Drugs Act.)
MISBRANDING OF FISH.
On March 26, 1910, the United States Attorney for the District of 
Indiana, 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 300 pails of fish remaining unsold in 
the original unbroken packages and in the possession of W. M. Shafer 
& Co., Frankfort, Ind., alleging that the product had been transported 
from the State of Ohio into the State of Indiana, and charging mis- 
branding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The product was 
labeled: "Extra Choice XXX White Lake Fish."
Misbranding of the .product was alleged in the libel for the reason 
that the statements on the brands and labels were false and mislead- 
ing, in that in truth and in fact the fish contained in the 300 pails were 
not choice white lake fish, but were lake herring; and the statements 
contained on said brands and labels were calculated to deceive and 
mislead the purchaser thereof.
On March 28, 1910, O. H. Dickman & Co., of Cincinnati, Ohio, 
claimant, having filed an answer admitting the allegations in the 
libel and paid the costs of the proceedings, judgment of condemnation 
and forfeiture was entered, and it was further ordered by the court 
that the product should be released to said claimant upon the execu- 
tion of bond in conformity with the provisions of section 10 of the 
Act.

Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
