3826. Adulteration of fish.  U. S. v. 2 Barrels of Fish.  Default decree of condemnation, for??
feiture, and destruction.   (F. & D. No. 3393.   S. No. 1260.)
On February 5,1912, the United States Attorney for the Middle District of Alabama,?
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 two barrels?
each containing 200 pounds of fish, remaining unsold in the original unbroken pack??
ages at Montgomery, Ala., alleging that the product had been shipped on or about?
February 3,1912, by the Warren,Fish Co., Pensacola, Fla., and transported from the?
State of Florida into the State of Alabama, and charging adulteration in violation of?
the Food and Drugs Act. The product was marked: "I. A. Kent & Co., Montgomery,?
Ala."
Adulteration of the product was alleged in the libel for the reason that it consisted?
in whole or in part of filthy, decomposed animal substance.
On July 1, 1913, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment of con??
demnation and forfeiture was entered and it was ordered by the court that the product?
should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
B. T. GALLOWAY, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
