of the United States for said district a libel, and, on August 5, 1913, an?
amended libel, for the seizure and condemnation of 12 tubs of shell eggs, re??
maining unsold in the original packages and in possession of the "Western Egg?
Yolk Co., Jersey City, N. J., alleging that the product had been shipped on or?
about July 28, 1913, by the Western Egg Yolk Co., doing business in New York,?
N. Y., and transported from the State of New York into the State of New?
Jersey, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The?

ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered and it was ordered by the?
court that the product should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
