On July 19, 1929, the United States attorney for the District ot New Jersey, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court 
of the United States tor said district a libel praying seizure and condemnation 
of 220 prints of butter at Jersey City, N. J., alleging that the article had been 
transported by Suchman & McRoberts (Inc.), Jersey City, N. J., from the 
premises of N. Dorman & Co., New York, N. Y., in part on or about July 13, 
1929, and in part on or about July 15, 1929, and had been transported from 
the State of New York into the State of New Jersey, and charging misbrand- 
ing in violation of the food and drugs act as amended. The article was labeled 
in part: " Delaware Valley Creamery [picture of cow] 8 Oz. Salr."
It was alleged in the libel that the article was misbranded in that the 
statement on the label, *' 8 Oz.," was false and misleading and deceived and 
misled the purchaser, and in that it was food in package form and the 
quantity of the contents was not plainly and conspicuously marked on the 
outside of the package, since the statement " 8 Oz." was incorrect.
On August 16, 1929, Hunter, Walton & Co., New York, N. Y., claimant, 
liaving admitted the allegations of the libel and having consented that a 
decree be entered condemning and forfeiting the product, judgment was en- 
tered ordering that the produet be released to the said claimant upon payment 
of costs and the execution of a bond in the sum of $100, conditioned in part 
that it be reprinted and packed to comply with the requirements of the Federal 
food and drugs act.
