of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure and condemnation?
of 10 cases, each containing 30 dozen eggs, remaining unsold in the original?
unbroken packages at Minneapolis, Minn., alleging that the article had been?
shipped on August 9, 1918, and August 13, 1918, by 0. A. Victora, Scranton,?
