12565. Adulteration of shell egg's.     U. S. v. 10 Cases of Eggs.    Consent de 
cree of condemnation and forfeiture. Product released under 
bond to be candled. (F. & D. No. 17670. I. S. No. 4567-v. S. No. 
C-4068.)
On July 9, 1923, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
Ohio, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District 
Court of the United States for said district a libel praying the seizure and 
condemnation of 10 cases of eggs remaining in the original unbroken packages 
at Cincinnati, Ohio, consigned by W. O. Crombie & Co., Carlisle, Ky., July 5, 
1923, alleging that the article had been shipped from Carlisle, Ky., and trans- 
ported from the State of Kentucky into the State of Ohio, and charging 
adulteration in violation of the food and drugs act. The article was labeled 
in part: " W. O. Crombie & Co. Carlisle Ky."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it 
consisted in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substance.
On July 10, 1923, the Blome Dreifus Co., Cincinnati, Ohio, having appeared 
as claimant for the property and having consented to the entry of a decree, 
judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered 
by the court that the product be released to the said claimant upon payment 
of the costs of the proceedings and the execution of a bond in the sum of 
$50, in conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned in part that the 
article be candled under the supervision of this department and the bad portion 
destroyed.
HOWARD M. GORE, Secretary of Agriculture.
