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 condemnation?
of 250 cases of eggs, remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages at?
Waterbury, Conn., alleging that the article had been shipped by the Litchfield?
Produce Co., Litchfield, Minn., on or about July 8, 1921, and transported from?
the State of Minnesota into the State of Connecticut and charging adulteration?
in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.

sented thereto, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered and it?
