Samples of tullibees from the shipment herein described having been found 
to be infested with worms and unfit for food, the Secretary of Agriculture 
reported the matter to the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Illinois.
On August 12, 1931, the United States attorney filed in the District Court 
of the United States for the district aforesaid a libel praying seizure and con- 
demnation of 218 boxes of tullibees at Chicago, Ill., alleging that the article had 
been shipped by the W. J. Guest Co. (Ltd.), from Winnipeg, Manitoba, in the 
Dominion of Canada, on or about August 4, 1931, and had been transported 
from Canada into the State of Illinois, 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 part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substance.   Adulters, 
lion was alleged for the further reason that the article consisted of a portion 
of an animal unfit for food.
On February 11, 1932, 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.
