Court of the United States for said district a libel of information for the?
seizure and condemnation of 47 cases of tomato paste, remaining" unsold in the?
original unbroken packages at Fall River, Mass., alleging that the product had?
been shipped and transported from the State of New York into the State of?
Massachusetts, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs?
Act.

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.
