On October 2, 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 an information against?
the Pauseh Brothers Oyster Co., a corporation, Port Chester, N. Y., alleging the?
shipment by said company, in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, on February?
28, 1916, from the State of New York into the State of Minnesota, of a quantity?
of oysters which were adulterated.
Analysis of a sample of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry of this de??
partment showed that it contained added water.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the information for the reason?
that a certain substance, to wit, water, had been mixed and packed therewith?
so as to reduce, lower, and injuriously affect its quality and strength, and had?
been substituted in part for oysters, which the article purported to be-.
On December 11, 1916, the defendant company entered a plea of guilty to?
the information, and the court imposed a fine of $5.
