On November 11, 1927, the United States attorney for the Western 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 75 bags of Brazil nuts, remaining in the original unbroken 
packages at Buffalo, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped from New 
York, N. Y., on September 21, 1927, after importation into this country, by the 
William A. Camp Co., and charging adulteration in violation of the food and 
drugs act.
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it consisted 
in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid vegetable substance.
On December 21, 1927, the Loblaw Groceterias (Inc.), Buffalo, N. Y., having 
appeared as claimant for the property and having consented to the entry of a 
decree, judgment of condemnation was entered, and it was ordered by the court 
that the product be released to the claimant upon the execution of a good and 
sufficient bond, conditioned in part that it be salvaged under the supervision 
of this department, and that the said claimant pay the cost of the proceedings.
