the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of four boxes of 
frozen shrimp at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped
in interstate commerce by the Friendly Fish Market from Georgetown, S. C. 
shipping for L. B. Owens, of Georgetown, S. C.; that it had arrived at New 
York on or about August 21, 1936, and. that it was adulterated in violation

tion was entered-and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
