11114. Adulteration of coriander seed. r. S. v. 1 Drum of Ground Cori??
ander Seed. Default decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and de??
struction.     (F. & D. No. 16115.    S. No.  C-3517.)
On April 19, 1922, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of?
Missouri, 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 1 drum of ground coriander seed, remaining unsold in the?
original unbroken drum in the possession of the Brecht Co., St. Louis, Mo.,?
alleging that the article had been shipped from Jacksonville, Fla., on or about?
March 22, 1922, and transported from the State of Florida into the State of?
Missouri, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.?
The article was labeled in part: '? Brecht Company, St. Louis."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that sand?
and dirt had been mixed and packed with and substituted wholly or in part?
for the article.
On September 18, 1922, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg??
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the?
court that the product be destroyed by the United Slates marshal.
