14607   Adulteration   of   shell    eggs.    IT.    S.    v.    6    Cases    of    Eggs.    Default 
decree of condemnation, forfeiture and destruction.     (P. & D. No.
21159.    I. S. No. 8224-x.    S. No. E-5789.)
On June 18, 1926, 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 seizure 
and condemnation of 6 cases of eggs, remaining unsold in the original cases 
at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped by the Deneen 
Produce Co., from Emmetsburg, Iowa, on or about May 21, 1926, and trans-
ported from the State of Iowa 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 whole or in part of decomposed eggs.
On September 13, 1926, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg- 
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by 
the court that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
W. M. JAKDINE, Secretary of Agriculture.
