7612. Adulteration of millc.   V. S.   *    *    *    v. Regnald J. Dax-by.   Collateral
of $25 forfeited.    (F. & D. No. 502-c.)
On August 26, 1919, the United States attorney for the District of Columbia, 
acting upon a report by the Health Officer of said District, filed in the Police 
Court of the District aforesaid an information against Regnald J. Darby, Buck- 
lodge, Md., alleging the shipment by said defendant, in violation of the Food 
and Drugs Act, on July 26, 1919, from the State of Maryland into the District of 
Columbia* of a quantity of milk which was adulterated.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the information for the reason that 
a certain valuable constituent thereof, to wit, butter fat, had been wholly and 
in part abstracted therefrom.
On August 26, 1919, the defendant having failed to appear, the $25 collateral 
that had been theretofore deposited by him to insure his appearance was ordered 
forfeited by the court.
E. D. BALL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
