destruction.    (F. & D. no. 31305.    Sample no. 50420-A.)
On or about October 20, 1933, the United States attorney for the Southern 
District of Ohio, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed 
in the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of nineteen 100- 
pound boxes of fish at Cincinnati, Ohio, alleging that the article had been 
shipped in interstate commerce on or about October 18, 1933, by the Lake 
Superior Fish Co., from Chicago, Ill., and charging adulteration in violation 
of the Food and Drugs Act.
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it consisted 
in part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid animal substance, and in that it con- 
sisted of portions of animals unfit for food.
On October 24, 1933, the court having found that the fish were spoiled and 
unfit for human consumption, judgment was entered nunc pro tunc as of 
October 20, 1933, ordering that they be destroyed by the United States marshal,
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture,
