12(550. Adulteration and misbranding- of butter. U. S. v. 76 Tubs of Butter. 
Consent decree of condemnation and forfeiture. Product re- 
leased under bond to be reworlted. (F. & D. No. 18897. I. S. No. 
13261-v.    S. No. E-4951.)
On July 25, 1924, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States for said district a libel praying the seizure 
and condemnation of 76 tubs of butter, remaining in the original unbroken 
packages at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped by 
the Glen Ullin Creamery Co., Glen Ullin, N. D., July 1, 1924, and transported 
from the State of North Dakota into the Stare of New York, and charging 
adulteration and misbranding in violation of the food and drugs act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that a sub- 
stance deficient in butterfat had been mixed and packed therewith so as to 
reduce, lower, and injuriously affect its quality and strength and had been 
substituted in part for the said article.
Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the article was an imitation of 
and offered for sale under the distinctive name of another article, to wit. 
butter.
On August 21, 1924, Trelease & Underhill, New York, N. Y., claimant, hav- 
ing admitted the allegations of the libel and consented to the entry of a decree, 
judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by 
the court that the product be released to the said claimant upon payment of 
the costs of the proceedings and the execution of a bond in the sum of $1,500, 
in conformity with section 10 of the aqt, conditioned in part that it be reworked 
under the supervision of this department.
HOWARD M. GOSE, Secretary of Agriculture.
