Pulp * * *. Product ordered released on bond. (F. & D. No. 8643.?
I. S. No. 3179-p.     S. No. E-923.)
On November 21, 1917, the United States attorney for the District of Mary??
land, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District?
Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure and condem??
nation of 1,188 cans of tomato pulp, remaining unsold in the original packages?
at Cambridge, Md., alleging that the article had been shipped by the James?
Wallace Packing Co., Cambridge, Md., and transported from the State of Mary??
land into the State of New York, and reshipped into the State of Maryland, and?
charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it con??
sisted in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid vegetable substance.
On February 18, 1918, James W. Waddell and M. Brent Waddell, copartners,?
trading as the James Wallace Packing Co., claimants, having consented to a?
decree, it was ordered by the court that the product should be released to said?
claimants upon the execution of a bond in the sum of $500, in- conformity?
with section 10 of the act, conditioned in part that the article should be used?
only for the purpose of cattle feed.
