On February 13, 1924, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of New York, 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 445 tins of frozen whole eggs, remaining in the 
original unbroken packages at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had 
been shipped by the Washington Cooperative Egg & Poultry Assoc, Seattle, 
Wash., November 7, 1923, and transported from the State of Washington into 
the State of New York, and charging adulteration in violation of the food and 
drugs act. 
*
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it 
consisted in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substance.
On April 9, 1924, the Pacific Egg Producers Cooperative (Inc.), claimant, 
having admitted the allegations of the libel and 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 bond in the 
sum of $4,000, in conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned in part 
that the product be sorted under the supervision of this department, the bad 
portion destroyed or denatured, and the good portion released.
HOWARD M. GORE, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
