On November 27, 1942, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of New York filed a libel against 45 cases, each containing 80 dozen shell eggs

merce on or about November 16,1942, by O. Baehmeyer from Wallingford, Conn.; 
and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in-part of a 
decomposed substance.
