On March 29, 1916, the United States attorney for the Southern District of New?
York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court?
of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure and condemnation of 1?
box of scallops, consigned by V. F. Salter, Newport, N. C, remaining unsold in-the?
original unbroken package at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been?
shipped, on or about March 25, 1916, and transported from the State of North Carolina?
into the State of New York, and charging adulteration in violation of- the Food and?
Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that the scallops?
had been soaked in water and water had been substituted in part for the article.
On April 18, 1916, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment of con??
demnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that the prod??
uct should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
