1181. Adulteration of peanuts.    V. S. v. 154 Cases of Peanuts.    Default decree of
condemnation and destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 1964.    Sample No. 13031-E.)
Examination showed that these peanuts were in part dirty.
On May 14, 1940, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Washington filed a libel against 154 cases (bags) each containing 120 pounds of 
peanuts at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about March 16, • 1940, by Hou-Tex Peanut Co. from 
Houston, Tex.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted in 
whole or in part of a filthy substance.
On September 11, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
