On July 12, 1922, the United States attorney for the Southern District of?
Ohio, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District?
Court of the United States for said district a libel praying the seizure and?
condemnation of 396 cases of oranges, remaining unsold in the original un??
broken packages at Cincinnati, Ohio, consigned by Cleghorn Bros., on or about?
July 1, 1922, alleging that the article had been shipped from Highland, Calif.,?
and transported from the State of California into the State of Ohio, and?
charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was?
labeled in part: " Fiesta Brand * * * Packed By Riverside Navel Orange?
Co., Riverside, Riverside Co., Calif." ?
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it?
consisted of a decomposed vegetable substance.

as claimant for the property and having consented to the entry of a decree,?
judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by?
the court that the product be released to the said claimant upon payment of the?
costs of the proceedings and the execution of a good and sufficient bond, in?
conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned in part that the bad portion?
be separated from the good portion, under the supervision of this department,?
and that it be not shipped except with the approval of this department.
