decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction. (F. & D. No. 5584. I. S. No.?
3373-h.   S. No. 2113.)
On February 10, 1914, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of New?
York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court?
of the United States for said district a libel, and on February 11,1914, an amended libel,?
for the seizure and condemnation of 12 barrels, more or less, of pearl meal, remaining?
unsold in the original unbroken packages at New York (borough of Brooklyn), N. Y.,?
alleging that the product had been shipped on or about January 17, 1914, and trans??
ported from the State of New Jersey into the State of New York, and charging adultera??
tion in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the product was alleged in the libels for the reason that it consisted?
wholly or in part of decomposed food substances.
On February 27, 1914, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment of?
condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that the?
product should be destroyed.
