Whiting Fillets and 72 Boxes of Cod Fillets. Default decrees of con- 
demnation and destruction. (F. D. C. Nos. 5591, 5622. Sample Nos. 59602-E, 
59619-E.)
On August 29 and September 6, 1941, the United States attorney for the 
Southern District of West Virginia filed libels against 588 cases of whiting- 
fillets and 72 boxes of cod fillets at Charleston, W. Va., alleging that the 
articles had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about August 9 and 
21, 1941, by 40-Fathom Fish, Inc., from Boston, Mass.; and charging that they 
were adulterated in that they consisted in whole or in part of decomposed 
substances. The articles were labeled in part: "H & G Whiting [or "Skinless 
Cod Fillets Perch] * * * Packed by General Seafoods Corporation Boston, 
Mass."
On September 23 and 26, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgments of 
condemnation were entered and the products were ordered destroyed.
