York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District?
Court of the United States for said district a libel praying seizure and con??
demnation of 260 cases of canned shrimp, remaining in the original unbroken?
packages at Buffalo, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped by the?
Marine Products (Inc.), New Orleans, La., April 7, 1924, and transported from?
the State of Louisiana into the State of New York, and charging adulteration?
in violation of the food and drugs act. The article was labeled in part:?
" Marine Shrimp Marine Products, Inc. New Orleans, La. Distributors."
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated, in that it con??
sisted in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid animal substance.
On August 29, 1925, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment?
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court?
that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
