On February 4, 1938, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the dis- 
trict court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 136 cases of canned 
cherries at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about December 14, 1937, from Hillsboro, Oreg., by rev- 
ealing Co., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. 
The article was labeled in part: "Premier Royal Anne Cherries * * * Francis 
H. Leggett & Co., Distributors, New York."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a 
filthy vegetable substance.
On March 5, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
