IT. S. v. 11 Barrels of Whisky.    Decree of condemnation by consent.    Goods
released on bond.
MISBRANDING OF WHISKY.
On January 25, 1910, the United States Attorney for the Eastern 
District of Louisiana, 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 11 barrels of 
whisky remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages and 
consigned to Thomas L. Harris, New Orleans, La., alleging that 
the product had been shipped by Ulman, Boykin & Co., Baltimore, 
Md., and transported from the State of Maryland into the State of 
Louisiana, during the month of January, 1909, and charging mis- 
branding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. Ten barrels of 
the product were labeled: " Lucy Hinton Whisky, guaranteed under 
the National Pure Food and Drugs Act, Ulman, Boykin & Com- 
pany." One barrel was labeled " My Maryland Whisky guaranteed 
under the National Food and Drugs Act, Ulman, Boykin & 
Company."
Misbranding of the product was alleged in the libel for the reason 
that it was branded in a manner to indicate that it was straight 
whisky, whereas, in truth and in fact, it was not straight whisky at 
all, but was a rectified article combined with grain distillate.
On January 28, 1909, the said Ulman, Boykin & Co., claimant, 
having filed an answer and claim for the product, a decree of con- 
demnation and forfeiture was entered and it was ordered by the 
court that the product be released and delivered to said claimant 
upon payment of the costs of the proceedings and the execution of 
bond in the sum of $1,000 in conformity with section 10 of the Act.
