6G03.  Adulteration of milk.    U. S.   *    *    *   v. Jolm B. Diainond, jr.     Collat??
eral of $50 forfeited.       (F. & D. No. 498-c.)
On June 17, 1919, the United States attorney for the District of Columbia,?
acting upon a report by the health officer of said District, filed in the police?
court of the District aforesaid an information against John B. Diamond, jr.,?
Gaithersburg, Md., alleging the shipment by said defendant, in violation of the?
Food and Drugs Act, on May 27, 1919, from the State of Maryland into the Dis??
trict of Columbia, of a quantity of milk which was adulterated.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the information for the reason that?
a valuable constituent thereof, to wit, butter fat, had been partially abstracted?
therefrom, thus reducing, lowering, and injuriously affecting its quality and?
strength.
On June 17, 1919, the defendant having failed to appear, the $50 collateral?
that had been deposited by him to insure his appearance was ordered forfeited?
by the court.
C. F. MABVIN, Acting Secret ury of Agriculture.
