decree of condemnation and forfeiture. Product released, under 
bond. (F. & D. Nos. 24041. 24053. I. S. Nos. 03722, 03723, 021078. S. Nos. 
2197, 2230.)
On August 10 and August 15, 1929, respectively, the United States attorney 
for the District of New Jersey, acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agricul- 
ture, filed in the District Court of the United States for said district libels 
praying seizure and condemnation of 104 cases, each containing 30 pounds, and 
27 cases, each containing 15 pounds of butter, at Newark, N. J., alleging that 
the article had been transported in interstate commerce by the.June Dairy 
Products Co. (Inc.), from their premises in New York, N. Y., to their premises 
in Newark, N. J., on oT about the respective dates of August 3, August 5, 
August 8, and August 10, 1929, and charging misbranding in violation of the 
food and drugs act as amended. The article was labeled variously: " Pasteur- 
ized June Dairy * * * Fancy-Print-Butter * * * Four-In-One * * * 
One Pound Net," " Pasteurized June Dairy Fancy-Print-Butter * * * One 
Pound Net Sweet Butter," and " Four-In-One June Dairy * * * Butter 
*    *    *    One Pound Net."
It was alleged in the libels that the article was misbranded in that the state- 
ment on the labels, " One Pound Net," was false and misleading and deceived 
and misled the purchaser, and in that the article was food in package form and 
the quantity of the contents was not plainly and conspicuously marked on the 
outside of the packages, since the statement " One Pound Net" was incorrect.
On August 16 and August 23, 1929, respectively, the June Dairy Products Co. 
(Inc.), Newark, N. J., claimant, having admitted the allegations of the libels 
and having consented that decrees be entered condemning and forfeiting the 
product, judgments were entered ordering that the said product be released to 
the claimant upon payment of costs and the execution of bonds totaling $1,550, 
conditioned in part that it be reprinted into full quarter-pound sections and 
packed in full 1-pound packages.
