On or about July 25, 1910, there were transported from the State? of Mississippi into the State of Tennessee two barrels each enclosing? approximately 100 pounds of tea enclosed in small bags, said bags? being labeled: "Standard Tokay Pure Blended Tea, New Orleans? Import Co., New Orleans." Examinations of samples of this product? made by the Bureau of Chemistry, United States Department of? Agriculture, showed it to be lilthy, extremely musty, and moldy, and? therefore to be adulterated within the meaning of the Food and Drugs? Act of June 30,1906. As it appeared from the findings of the analyst? and report made that the shipment was liable to seizure under section? 10 of the act, the Secretary of Agriculture reported the facts to the? United States attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee. On August 30, 1910, a libel was filed in the District Court of the? United States for said district against the said two barrels of tea? charging the above shipment and alleging that the product so shipped? was adulterated in that it was filthy, musty, moldy, and putrid, and? praying seizure, condemnation, and forfeiture of the product. On October 24, 1910, the case came on for hearing, and no claimant? for the product having appeared, the court, being fully informed in? the premises, issued its decree finding said product to be adulterated? as charged in said libel, condemning and forfeiting the product to the? use of the United States and ordering its destruction by the marshal? of said district, which order was duly executed on November 5, 1910. This notice is given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs? Act of June 30, 1906. W. M. HAYS,? Acting Secretary of Agriculture. WASHINGTON, D. C, April J, 1911. 88659??No. 829?11
