On March 23, 1929, the United States attorney for the District of Maryland, 
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 condemnation 
of 15 bags of beef scrap, remaining in the original unbroken packages at 
Hyattsville, Md., alleging that the article had been shipped by Herbert Bryant's 
Son, from Alexandria, Va., on or about February 27, 1929, and transported 
from the State of Virginia into the State of Maryland, and charging misbranding 
in violation of the food and drugs act. The article was labeled in part: " Beef 
Scrap Guaranteed Analysis Protein 50.00% * * * Manufactured by Herbert 
Bryant's Son, Alexandria, Va."
It was alleged in the libel that the article was misbranded in that the state- 
ment "Guaranteed Analysis Protein 50.00%" was false and misleading and 
deceived and misled the purchaser. 
On April 2, 1929, Herbert Bryant's Son, Alexandria, Va., having appeared as 
claimant for the property, 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 costs and the execution of a bond in the sum 
of $150, conditioned in part'that it should not be sold or disposed of until 
relabeled to show its true protein content.
