(RENOYATED BUTTER.)
In accordance with the provisions of section 4 of the Food and?
Drugs Act of June 30, 1906, and of regulation 6 of the rules and regu??
lations for the enforcement of the act, notice is given that on the 6th?
day of November, 1908, in the police court of the District of Columbia,
in a criminal prosecution by the United States against Corinne H. Red??
man for violation of section 2 of the aforesaid act in the sale and offer?
for sale in the District of Columbia of a quantity of renovated butter?
under the name of another article of food, that is to say, Elgin butter,?
the said Corinne H. Redman having entered a plea of guilty to two?
distinct and separate offenses, the court imposed upon him a fine of $50?
for each offense.
The facts in the case were as follows:
On June 20 and 22, 1907, an inspector of the Department of Agricul??
ture purchased from Corinne H. Redman, proprietor of the Elgin?
Creamery Company, 220 Ninth street, N. W., Washington, D. C, sam??
ples of a quantity of butter exposed for sale at the store of said com??
pany, and advertised on a blackboard at the door as " Elgin Creamery?
Co., 4 Pounds Best Elgin Butter only $1.00 today only," and also rep??
resented by the dealer to be very best creamery butter. The samples?
were duly analyzed in the Bureau of Chemistry of said Department and?
found to be renovated butter. On July 12, 1907, the Secretary of?
Agriculture accorded the Elgin Creamery Company a hearing, and as?
no evidence was introduced by the dealer to show any fault or error in?
the determination of the analysts of the Department the facts were duly?
reported to the Attorney-General and by him to the United States?
attorney for the District of Columbia, who, on October 30, 1908, filed?
an information in the police court of said District against Corinne H.?
Redman, proprietor of said Elgin Creamery Company, with the result?
hereinbefore stated.
