~     "       Consent   decrees   of   condemnation   and   forfeiture.     Product   re- 
leased   under   bond.     (P.   &   D.   Nos.   20933,   20934.     I.   S.   Nos.   7937-x, 
7045-x.    S. Nos. E-5662, E-5668.)
On March 15, 1926, the United States attorney for the District of New 
Jersey, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States for said district libels praying seizure and 
condemnation of 162 tubs of butter, remaining unsold at Hoboken, N. J., 
alleging that the article had been shipped by the Harrow-Taylor Butter Co., 
Kansas City, Mo., a portion having been shipped on or about February 25, 
1926, and the remainder having arrived at Hoboken March 6, 1926, and that 
the article had been shipped in interstate commerce, and charging adultera- 
tion in violation of the food and drugs act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libels for the reason that 
it consisted in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substance.
On May 5, 1926, the Harrow-Taylor Butter Co., Kansas City, Mo., having 
consented to the entry of decrees, judgments of condemnation and forfeiture 
were 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 bonds in the aggregate sum of $4,000, in conformity with section 
10 of the act, and it was further ordered by the court that it be reconditioned 
under the supervision of this department.
W. M. JAEDINE, Secretary of Agriculture.
