AT66, Adulteration of scallops. U.S. * * * v. 1 Tub of Scallops. Default decree of con??
demnation, forfeiture, and destruction. (F. & D. No. 7294. I. S. No. 1985-1. S. No.?
E-577.)
On March 29,1916, the United States attorney for the Southern 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 1 tub of?
scallops consigned by P. B. Mason, Painter, Va., remaining unsold in the original?
unbroken package at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped,?
on or about March 25, 1916, and transported from the State of Virginia into the State of?
New York, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it had been?
soaked in water, and water had been substituted in part for the article.
On April 18, 1916, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment of?
condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that the?
product should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
CARL VROOMAN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
