On April 13, 1912, the United States Attorney for the Eastern?
District of New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agri??
culture, filed in the District Court of the United States for said dis??
trict a libel for the seizure and condemnation of five cases, each con??
taining 20 5-pound cans of butter, remaining unsold in the original?
unbroken packages on board the steamship Coamo of the New York?
& Porto Rico Steamship Co., at pier 35, Brooklyn, N. Y., alleging?
that the product had been offered for shipment on said steamer on?
April 13, 1912, by the E. G. Perez Co., New York, N. Y. and charg??
ing adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The?
product was labeled: (On cases) "Lestrade Brothers, New York,?
Celebrated Table Butter, 20 tins, Choice Selected (with picture of?
cow)." (On cans) "Montequilla Superior Marcatrebol (with design?
of clover). Class Superior Gusto Sabroso. E. G. Perez Company,?

judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was?
further ordered that the product should be destroyed by the United?
States marshal.
