NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 2161.
(Given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs Act.)
ADULTERATION OF BLACKBERRIES.
On July 18, 1912, the United States Attorney for the District of 
Maryland, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed 
in the District Court of the United States for said district a libel for 
the seizure and condemnation of 16 pails of blackberries remaining 
unsold and in the original unbroken packages upon the premises of 
the Baltimore, Chesapeake & Atlantic Railway Co., Baltimore, Md., 
alleging that the product had been shipped from the State of Vir- 
ginia into the State of Maryland, and charging adulteration m viola- 
tion of the Food and Drugs Act. The product bore shipping tags 
reading as follows: "H. E. Dunaway Rehoboth Ch, Va. J. M. 
Gressitt Co. Commission Merchants Grain, Live Stock, Wool. Poul- 
try, Eggs, Fruits and Produce No. 16 E. Camden Street, Baltimore, 
Md."
Adulteration of the product was alleged in the libel for the reason 
that it consisted in part of a filthy and decomposed vegetable sub- 
stance, to wit, decayed, fermented, and moldy blackberries.
On September 26, 1912, no claimant having appeared for the 
property, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered and 
it was further ordered that the product should be destroyed by the 
United States marshal.
