Court of the United States for said district libels for the seizure and con??
demnation of 105 cases and 96 cases, each containing 30 dozen, of shell eggs, re??
maining unsold in the original unbroken packages at Jersey City, N. J.,?
alleging that the 105 cases had been shipped by Philip Mandelker and the?
96 cases by Levy & Aufrichtag, New York, N. Y., on July 8,1915, and transported?
from the State of New York into the State of New Jersey, and charging?

substance.
On January 22, 1916, the said Philip Mandelker and Levy & Aufrichtag,?
claimants, having consented to decrees, judgments of condemnation and for??
feiture were entered, and it was ordered by the court that upon payment of?
the costs of the proceedings and the execution of bonds in the sum of $1,000?
each, the eggs should be sorted, and the portion unfit for human food destroyed,?
and the portion fit for human food examined by a representative of the Bureau?
of Chemistry and passed upon before same should go forward into commerce,?
then said product might be delivered to said claimants.
