On June 28, 1922, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of?
Virginia, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the Dis??
trict Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure and con??
demnation of 24 cases of shell eggs, remaining unsold in the original packages?
at Richmond, Va., alleging that the article had been shipped by G. B. Butler,?
Greensboro, N. C, on or about June 26, 1922, and transported from the State?
of North Carolina into the State of Virginia, and charging adulteration in vio??
lation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it?
consisted wholly or in part of a filthy and decomposed animal substance.
On July 14, 1922, no claimant having appeared for the property, it was?
ordered by the court that the product be destroyed by the United States?
marshal.
C. W. PUOSLEY, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
