On or about August 26, 1919, the United States attorney for the Northern?
District of New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture,?
tiled in the District Court of the United States for said district a libel for the?
seizure and condemnation of 65 tubs of butter, at Troy, N. Y., alleging that the?
article had been shipped by the 11. E. Cobb Co., St. Paul, Minn., July 28, 1919,?
and transported from the State of Minnesota into the State of New York, and?
charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act-.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in substance in the libel for the?
reason that excessive water had been mixed and packed therewith so as to?
reduce and lower and injuriously affect its quality and strength, and for the?
further reason that the article was deficient in butter fat and contained an?
excess of moisture.
On October 20, 1919, the It. E. Cobb Co., St. Paul, Minn., claimant, having?
entered an appearance without denying or contraverting the material allegation?
of the libel, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was?
ordered by the court that the product be delivered to said claimant upon pay??
ment of the costs of the proceedings and the execution of a bond in the sum?
of $2,000, in conformity with section 10 of the act.
E. D. BALL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
