On November 2, 1925, 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 44 bags of walnuts in shell, remaining in the 
original unbroken packages at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article 
had been shipped by Rosenberg Bros., from Santa Clara, Calif., on or about 
November 24, 1924, and transported from the State of California 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 vegetable substance.
On December 1, 1925, Barnett O. Golding, New York, N. Y., 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 $1,200, in conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned in part 
that the bad portion be separated from the good portion and the former 
destroyed or denatured under the supervision of this department.
