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 784 tins of frozen egg yolk, remaining in the original 
unbroken packages at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been 
shipped by the Fairmont Creamery Co., from Spokane, Wash., December 26, 
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 February 3, 1925, the Fairmont Creamery Co., Spokane, Wash., claimant, 
having admitted the allegations of the libel 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 bond in the sum 
of $7,000, 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 the bad portion destroyed or denatured.
