On March 17, 1924, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Michigan, 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 182 cans of frozen eggs, remaining in the original un- 
broken packages at Detroit, Mich,, alleging that the article had been shipped 
by the S. Miller Cold Storage Co., Marshfield, Wis., December 27, 1923, and 
transported from the State of Wisconsin into the State of Michigan, and 
?charging adulteration in violation of the food and drugs act. The article 
?was labeled in part: " From S. Miller Cold Storage Co. Marshfield, Wisconsin." 
>. It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it con- 
sisted in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substance.
Misbranding was alleged in that the article was food in package form and 
the quantity of the contents was not plainly and conspicuously marked on the 
outside of the package. 

On May 7, 1924, the Bentley Produce Co., Detroit, Mich., having entered an 
appearance claiming a factor's lien on 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 to be salvaged, upon payment of the costs of the proceedings and the 
execution of a bond in the sum of $1,000, in conformity with section 10 of the 
act.
