'On July 7, 1927, the United States attorney for the Eastern District ofPenn- 
? 'sylvania, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
I District Court of the United States for said district a libel praying seizure 
| .and condemnation of 20 tubs of butter, remaining in the original unbroken 
i ipac'kages at Philadelphia, Pa., consigned by the Harpers Ferry Creamery Co., 
? Harpers Ferry, W. Va., alleging that the article had been shipped from Harpers 
I Ferry, W. Va., on or about July 5, 1927, and transported from the State of West 
\ Virginia into the State of Pennsylvania, and charging adulteration and mis- 
; branding in violation of the food and drugs act. The article was labeled in 
? 
.part: " Harpers Ferry Creamery, Harpers Ferry, West Va." 
)-' It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated, in that a sub- 
i .-stance containing less than 80 per cent of butterfat had been substituted wholly 
I or in part for the article, and had been mixed and packed therewith so as to 
S? j'educe, lower, or injuriously affect its quality or strength. 
| Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the article was an imitation
I     .of or offered for sale under the distinctive name of another article. 
| On July 13, 1927, Crawford & Lehman, Inc., Philadelphia, Pa., having ap-
t  peared as claimant for the property and having admitted the allegations of the 
I ' libel, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered 
[ hy 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 $1,000, 
conditioned in part that it be reconditioned under the supervision of this 
?department.
