17285. Adulteration of  shell  egrgrs.    V.  S. v.  10  Gases  of  Shell Kgrgrs.    De- 
fault decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction.     (F. &
D. No. 24805.    I. S. No. 028265.    S. No. 3052.)
On March 31, 1930, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Pennsylvania, 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 10 cases of shell eggs, remaining in the original unbroken 
packages at Philadelphia, Pa., consigned by the Riverside Poultry Farm, and 
alleging that the article had been shipped from Grottoes, Va., on or about 
March 28, 1930, and transported from the State of Virginia into the State of 
Pennsylvania, 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 con- 
sisted in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid animal substance.
On April 19, 1930, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment 
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court 
that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
ABTHTJR M. HYDE, Secretary of Agriculture.
