On April 27, 1921, the United States attorney for the Western District of Ten??
nessee, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the Dis??
trict Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure and?
condemnation of 322 cases of pie peaches, remaining in the original unbroken?
packages at Memphis, Tenn., alleging that the article had been shipped by?
the Booth Packing Co., Baltimore, Md., on or about January 31, 1921, and?
transported from the State of Maryland into the State of Tennessee, and?
charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article?
was labeled in part, " Diamond Brand Pie Peaches * * * D. D. Mallory &?
Co.    *    *    *    Baltimore, Md.    Distributors."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it?
consisted wholly or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid vegetable sub??
stance.
On September 22, 1921, the Booth Packing Co., Baltimore, Md., claimant,?
having consented to a decree, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was?
entered, and it was ordered by the court that the product- be released to said?
claimant upon payment of the costs of the proceedings, and the execution of a?
bond in the sum of $500, in conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned?
in part that the product be repacked and properly sorted so as to exclude the?
objectionable portions thereof.
