filed in the District Court of the United States for said district a libel for the 
seizure and condemnation of 590 sacks and 163 sacks of fava beans, remaining 
unsold in the original unbroken packages at Los Angeles, Calif., alleging that 
the article had been shipped on or about August 30, 1918, by Frederic Arezzo 
Luisis, San Francisco, Calif., and were en route from the State of California 
into the State of New York, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food 
and Drugs Act.

of the proceedings and the execution of a bond in the sum of $5,500, in con- 
formity with section 10 of the act, conditioned in part that the beans should 
be hand picked and inspected under the supervision of a representative of this 
department, and that the portion found ? fit for food should be delivered to 
said claimant and the unfit portion denatured and then returned to said
