13270. Adulteration of fish.    V. S. v. 34 Boxes of Fish.    Default decree of
'        condemnation,   forfeiture,   and   destruction.     (P.   &   D.   No.   19888. 
I.  S. No. 23991-v.    S. No. C-4677.)
On March 10, 1925, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Illinois, 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 34 boxes of fish, at Chicago, Ill., alleging that the article 
had been shipped by the Bay City Freezer, Inc., from Bay City, Mich., February 
28. 1925, and transported from the State of Michigan into the State of Illinois, 
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 it consisted in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal 
substance.
On April 10, 1925, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment 
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court 
that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
R. W. DUNLAP, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
