NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 2714.
(Given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs Act.)
C   S.   v.   Four   Barrels   of   Condensed   Milk:.    Decree   of   condemnation   by 
default.   Product ordered sold or released on bond.
ADULTERATION AND MISBRANDING OF CONDENSED MILK.
On July 26, 1911, the United States Attorney for the Eastern 
District of Virginia, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agri- 
culture, filed in the District Court of the United States for said dis- 
trict a libel for the seizure and condemnation of four barrels of 
so-called condensed milk remaining unsold in the original unbroken 
packages at Richmond, Va., alleging that the product had been 
shipped on July 11,1911, by Charles H. Walter, Jr., & Co., Baltimore, 
Md., and transported from the State of Maryland into the State of 
Virginia, and charging adulteration and misbranding in violation of 
the Food and Drugs Act. The product was labeled: " Franklin 
County Creamery and Condensed Milk Co. Confectioner's Stock. 
No.    Bangor, N. Y."
Adulteration of the product was alleged in the libel for the reason 
that it was sold as condensed milk when, in truth and in fact, it was 
not condensed milk but a skimmed milk product, a valuable constitu- 
ent, namely, cream, having been partially abstracted therefrom. Mis- 
branding was alleged for the reason that the product was an imitation 
of and was offered for sale under the name of another article, that is 
to say, it was offered for sale as condensed milk when, as a matter of 
fact, it was made from skimmed milk.
On March 13, 1912, no claimant having appeared for the product, 
judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered and it was 
ordered by the court that the product should be sold by the United
14307°—No. 2714—14
States marshal after marking and branding the same as a skimmed
milk product.    In lieu thereof, it was further ordered by the court
that the product should be delivered either to said consignor or to
the consignee, the American Bread & Baking Co., Richmond, Va.,
upon payment of all the costs of the proceedings and the execution of
bond in the sum of $200 by either, in conformity with section 10 of
the Act.
